"Why should I hand over half the mobs..." yep that's the whole mentality of it all and the exact reason raids were suspended for two days.

What's your solution?

You don't want to re-pop the server all the time.

I don't want to me not permitted the play the game half the time.

The historical solution to this problem was INSTANCED RAIDING

Without instances the best solution is more re-pops.

I've been playing on your server for 20 months. Of those 20 months I've spent 11 of them raiding with TMO. Why should I hand over half the mobs to other players if they aren't willing to put forth the effort that me and my friends do?
Stop crying dam. Who gives a shiiiiii

Not everyone has time to devote 18 hours to a video game, it's nice to be able to play casually and still experience everything there is in everquest. There really is no point for one or two guilds to control the servers raid mobs. Preferrably, a new blue server would be started so the hardcore raiders can have their own server. Not everyone wants to deal with that much hardcore shit so it would just be best to split to two servers. Go ahead and insult me because of this idea, but as is there's far too many casuals that play for a while and then leave because of how raiding stands on this server, you guys want your mobs and shit go for it. Although I doubt you guys would still raid on a server that is just populated by your own guild(s). It really is just time for a second blue server so no one has to deal with raid agreements they don't want.

wrong theyll leave regardless, they have in the past and they will in the future thats whole point of them being casual.

Thats why none of this will ever work, people who want to play casually and not compete, are wanting the same amount of payout as others devoting much more time.

In the end the casual will move on and not care, regardless if they get to raid or not, ive seen it happen hundreds of times.

I consider myself casual, I've been playing since the server started pretty much and I'm still here. I've raided sparadically throughout my time here. A second server would give the casuals a place to go who are wanting only to devote the spare time they have to play, casuals would like to experience raid content too. Really though if it's the casual players/guilds wanting more mobs or w/e than tmo/FE and are screwing the rotation, how about a new server for the casuals to go to and bring up their own raid rotation agreement, if it's even needed in the type of player set that would be there.

Instanced raids is the best way to do this.

A highly complex and confusing rotation with bag limits, cool off periods, etc. is going to cause more trouble than it solves. Figuring out when you can kill a mob is harder than figuring out who gets the last wildcard in the NFL... you need a stinkin' PhD to do it. And it will cause more lawyering than there has ever been.

As I posted elsewhere, do raid tokens combined with larger variances that keep some sort of competition/racing in the game, but eliminate poopsocking.

Exactly, its part of the definition of casual. They will come and go all the time.

Filthy disgusting dirty casuals and hard cores need to be seperated no matter what way you look at it. Whether that be through rules or otherwise.

Imagine a rogean server with a strict rotation casual only ruleset i think it would thrive like crazy. most of us just don't have the time to compete so intensely and there really isn't enough to go around for the hardcores that want it all.
