It's a level playing field. Both Sirken and I have said this. Everyone's got the same chance to compete. As brut stated above, you're trading one kind of sock for another, possibly more soiled sock.

There's been some good idea's from the raid community on how to improve the raid scene, I just don't think this is one of them.

Once RMT for accounts was banned I'm afraid the level playing field all but dissapeared. Whoever (any guesses? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ) bought up most of those accounts prior to the ban gained a significant advantage.

RMT was never allowed and has always been a banned practice. You mean plat for accounts. But yeah.

Ideas?

Remove variance on all the dragons, institute simulated patch day respawns once a week.

That right there would improve the raid scene 100 times over and spread out raid loot.

Especially seeing how after the first repop, most everything would all end up dad within minutes of each other making it harder for a couple guilds to lock down everything.

Not to mention the stupid fucking non-classic hurdle that fresh guilds have to overcome would then be non-existant

Shit's classic as hell. I particulary don't understand the staffs unwillingness on the simulated repops at all.

While this would be wonderful, nothing will fix the server but the people playing on it; to the extent that people who are currently controlling the raid scene are unwilling to come to any terms with eachother and the server as a whole, this server will continue to require massive timesinks to get anything done.

If they did simulated repops and came out with SoV beta

This would fix it 100% - but this changes the environment completely. I am talking in terms of this environment remaining constant.

I also never mentioned anything about full rotations. That would be boring, as all this content available atm is pretty trivial in and of itself. Some kind of middle-ground, however, would be best in my opinion.

Thats the sounds of a broken and beaten man.

Sounds of a broken and beaten Silverwing, more like it. Only took me three weeks this time too.
