I agree, spread these fucking mobs out. Who thought it was a good idea to stack everything on Saturday? All sense of competition is completely gone, it basically boils down to the guilds that can form the fastest responding saturday/sunday zergs. There is no fun in this current setup. Regulate less, increase the fun for all.

Agreed.

Is the competition to find out which 2 members from each guild sitting on a spawn point can /tar and then instant clicky a mob the fastest?

This kind of crap is limited (note: limited doesn't mean eschewed completely) with increased variance (like it was before).

I think I actually agree with Sakuragai (sp?) for the first time ever in that Class C guilds got the shaft. The raid scene is plain boring with the vast majority of repops occurring with regularity every Saturday. The guild who wins is the one with the fastest jav (who can rely on a very short window and thus can poopsock more easily) and who can throw a zerg force together fastest.

I for one, enjoy our zerg raiding system.

I think the Inny Engage was Silly, but am I the only one who isn't particularly worried about it? It was an FFA Mob, in the last 5 minutes of window on a weekend? Duh it was Heavily contested.

Don't get me wrong, I think it would be interesting to take the DT cooldown to like 10 seconds or something to make First in Force more do-able, but there's no real reason to do that. Class R still has Inny on Rotation, and we all knew from the Beginning that lots of the FFAs would go class C, in fact that was kind of the point.

Let's just wait for some mobs that can't be zerged down and enjoy our Vel loot.

What I find confusing is the fact the game is fifteen years old and people bicker over the content like they are vying for world/server firsts.

My only interest in any sort of raid content would be to experience it since I was in High School on live and never really had the option to do anything but armor farm in NToV. I mean if you're only killing something for an epic piece to sell a MQ or get the armor to sell or something....you're kind of being a dick and putting a stranglehold on people for no reason other than greed.

But what do I know.

And... Winter is coming. All this finger tapping on the keys is going to be moot, hopefully soon.

This guy gets it.

I say Nerf the soulfire as it creates this well non contested field. Just creates a massive train fest while only one guild snags the mob. I thought trains were no longer allowed I guess training for no reason isn't allowed. I have yet to see a guild suspended for the training over some mobs....mostly the gods ct and inny.

I'd like some of the rules enforced of the ones that were placed...its a fancy idea I guess.

Problem with Inny and CT are figuring out who trained who is a clusterfuck.

They are more or less no CSR zones when those mobs are up. Since the CT strat for everyone is kite entire zone Zerg CT. And the Inny strat is Zerg Inny deal with trash after Inny is dead (IE Cap out and let those without cap or desynched deal with clean up).
