The difference between me and 95% of the rest of the people in this thread is that I am more concerned with making the raid scene fun than I am with dividing the pixels evenly.

/agree with you here, i've been saying this for awhile.

i can't imagine anyone enjoys 4AM batphones for 30 second encounters.

i'd love to see The A-Team get some raid target kills with a 6 man group.

Give every guild a weekly allowance (certain amount) let's say 100.

Give every raid target a value based on demand, let's say PD is valued at 50.

Any guild that takes out PD is now left with only 50 raid allowance.

Then just go from there. CT/Inny/VS/ could all be set at 30. VP dragons (except PD) could be 10s along with Kunark world dragons. Draco could be a 15. Vox/Naggy/maestro 10s.

DKP yo!

IDK, something like that could easily be tracked and gives some weekly planning by each guild.

add an FFA day right before the week restarts. ensures nothing is left up

I'd be more inclined to say instead of an FFA day, that it would be a free joint raid day. Allow guilds to come and raid together and just random the loot off to any one present that isn't part of a large raid guild that took out targets that week.

Promote some server cohesion

That's a beautiful idea.

I think a big problem is there just isn't enough for high levels to do. I'd really want to see 24 hour repops (+-2 hours) on targets but reduce the drop rates (1/7 or 1/5 depending on the normal spawn time of the mob.) Give people more stuff to do but not increase the flow of pixels.

While I like the idea it is easily exploited. People could form secondary guilds with alts for a new 100 point cap to burn through

Could easily do that with a rotation or any other system.

I really like that idea because I really like spreadsheets.

Seriously though, good idea; a nice combination of clarity and flexibility while still allowing guilds to exercise a number of strategies in the race for pixels.

I think trying to divide things equally is a bit of a step in the wrong direction. I think you need to make a system that promotes competition but also naturally deters monopolies. This is someone who doesn't actively raid right now so take that with a grain of salt.
