Proposition For Raid Rules - Input Requested

[Fael]

Cool story. Been here a year and half and it's not happened like that.

Yea, nobody is doing trak+whatever at the same time.

Only two guilds are remotely capable of that and on a repop at least one of them is going to be in VP.

Regardless it gives the other guilds a fighting chance. Whereas when there are no repops the current climate totally shuts others out. Even in a new climate more repops will give the smaller guilds a better chance. Especially if rules are enforced which wont allow trains to delay the small guilds until the big guild reinforces - the small guilds will complete pulls and get kills.

Finally repops are so totally classic, they happened pretty regularly weekly.

"remaining competitive" is the problem. you don't even realize what is going on. IT IS NOT COMPETITIVE. you guys don't even know what that means anymore.

tracking for 4 days, bat-phoning at 4am, logging in fully buffed characters at the mob spawn point, and then trying to dick over the other guild by using shady ass FTE tactics, then to run logs, have camera crews working fraps angles, and to pretty much post a giant ass petition AND / OR RNF thread about the encounter as standard procedures.

=not competing, but rather being psychotic, and about pixels

You have never been competitive other than when you won a darwin award. Don't speak about what you don't know.

Competitive to me is versus environment. Competitive to some TMO/FE/IB/whatever is vs other players. TMO is not going to go away, as much as we wanted them to. They are a raid guild and they need to be part of a discussion. If the majority of guilds WANT a rotation..then it should be done. TMO,FE,IB,and I am pretty sure Taken and BDA would not vote for a full rotation. I have always been trying to find ways to maximize fun in these discussions. They ARE allowed to have a voice. Cept the trolls... F those guys.


The Basic thought process is for people to leave X mobs up Y amount of hours after Z amount of ffa spawns. Personally in this very basic thought process, everything except VP should be on the table to be killed in this manner. This would be a basic and rudimentary compromise.

XYZ=Compromise

Figure out those three numbers!


Now back to my rambling:

My Guild VS Guild per spawn idea would give the neckbeards something to froth about, and keep TMO/ FE/IB off of some spawns. It would add flavor to it. Stick that shit in a fantasy football scheduler as more people get on/off the list and it would be easy to manage.

If you want to share and be "competitive", I propose this:

Rotation system, where the top two guilds are slotted together and maybe even more often. Or a SLot for competition and the guilds that like to compete can compete on those days and not enter the rotation for their free mobs.

Might go like this:

CT:
week 1: Competitive (tmo and ib can jerk each other off and fiddle fuck around with trains and shit)
week 2: taken
week 3: bda
week 4: divinity
week 5: competition

This is pretty much what we have been proposing, except week 1: non FE/IB/TMO, rest of the month competitive.

My hope with my idea was that theres pretty much 2 tiers of competition, the higher of which gets forced to allow 1 of each mob outside of VP a month.

Loraen your anti-variance crusade is both righteous and amusing. Occasional repops can be good, but would ultimately be time biased. There is no point to having repops until the ability to camp inside of raid zones is removed.

Should just make it so that if you log in after camping out in a raid zone, it treats you as if you've just been rezzed. Would give a huge disadvantage to parking toons.

I like this idea but I fear it would be too easily cheese'd / disruptive to the zone
