Public Open raids

Korrowan, "The purpose of loot is to progress to the next raid" is not absolutely true. To some like me loot is a trophy, of an event a memory. I'm not thinking ahead to the next raid at all, to me I'm living in the moment.

That is the difference between ideologies. I will stand by what I said and that is the premise I play the game with.

I think it's funny that people who play the game for a specific reason (i.e. to have fun, to get loot, to "have the best loot,") tend to think anyone else who plays for a different reason is "ruining the game."

The game serves any number of playstyles, and just because everyone doesn't "just play for fun" (if fun could be objectively defined) doesn't make them degenerates or something.

Live and let live.

Just to put this thread back on topic:

As an unguilded 50 I would be down for public raids. Perhaps we should just make a list of people interested, and if there are enough, give it a try?

Despite what I said earlier, I'd participate in an open raid too (even though I'm guilded). I'll just run away if shit hits the fan.

Someone needs to organize it though.

I would FD - glad we're all on the same page here =/

Good idea. I was thinking about leading public trash clears. I'll put up a new thread, since this one was more questions and people discussing how it would work here (as an aside, DOOM used to do 'em).

If you're interested, PM me and I'll compile a list. Give me your class and preferred times; and whether you'd want to be on the list to lead raids if necessary. If you want/would be willing to lead, I'd prefer you have recent experience with plane of fear and hate (i.e. have done it a good bit on this server).

I'm not going to enforce this, but I'd appreciate if every time you received a loot in your class's plane you attended a raid in the other one (i.e. if my mage gets a drop in hate I come for a fear raid).

I dont care what anyone says, on the OG server Eci public raids ruled.
Public downed Vox first, and public was 2nd or 3rd to Plane of Time. Public is still going strong on whatever server Eci merged with I hear. Public used to farm PoFear and PoHate 24/7 for a week or so straight. Public did 3 day PoSky raids. I mean it was insane and amazing and I know it can be done. All of this was accomplished with no vent or teamspeak.

EDIT: I want to add that all this was done when the content was current. I was at the first vox kill on eci server, and I was only level 39 or something. No joke. The people and person who organized these public raids were very professional and the community was extremely tight knit. We all posted on the message boards and it just worked.
