2) HARDCODING your guild or group. I prefer guild, but this would allow us to have AOE groups, and use AOE's in PVP.

Yes please.

You wanted low exp to build low level/mid level community which crashed hard, and we called it, no need to be hostile - if you're actually on our side(which it appears you are) then we can be pals.

I think we need a change for the most active PvP zones to combat the OOR rezzers and healers. Make KC free for all +/- 2 hours of VS pop (if that is possible).

Hardcode your guild so AEs can be used.

Flag lower level toons that cast a beneficial spell on someone.

I know coding work is probably impossible to get at this point, but long term adding code to flip zones to FFA when a raid target is up would be a huge boon to PVP in those zones.

Hard issue. On the one hand it's a bit non classic how there is such a long wait between hard Repops and it results in the majority of pvp action happening on one day. On the other hand, variance forces poop socking / bat phones, etc., and will often result in the guild winning the mob being the fastest most dedicated to mobilize not necessarily the one who won pvp. It also punishes a guild unfairly who splits spawns up which will be important in velious for example when you clear NToV.

My opinion? Switch the sim Repops to hard Repops (new timer) and make them bi weekly. And/or stagger the pops some how on the repop as well similar to how it happens on live currently. You won't have to poop sock the repop, but the initial pop will be on a variance timer which will distribute mob pops throughout the week and give people something to fight over every day. Also, to encourage pvp and cut down on poop sock tracker wars, have a global message go out an hour before a mob is about to pop to allow people time to mobilize and hopefully fight.

Just my two cents on a compromise that both spreads mobs out for more fights and doesn't penalize people who Repops are at times they can't make for months while also dealing with the poopsock issue.

Also, in regards to the OP...

What this server needs is two forces that are capable of defeating each other. The spawn time of raid mobs is irrelevant. Even if they all spawned at the same time nothing is stopping one side from making it a point to do nothing but steamroll the lesser crew until they log off then collecting the raid mobs at their leisure. The only way this server maintains multiple high end guilds is for them to stay relatively equal to each other in terms of numbers, PVP victories, etc. There will always be a certain percentage of people that flow towards the path of least resistance to get loot.

I think we're the closest we've been in a long time to that right now. I know if Azrael has a good showing and we have a good showing we'll see 40-50 on each side. Whoever plays better wins the mob. That was proven this weekend multiple times...when we won the PVP/played well we got the mob. When we didn't play well (PD) you guys won the mob (PVP really didn't factor into that fight).

The key is the losing side not hemorrhaging players so they can come back the following week and possibly win. For the first time in a long time people on both sides think they can win.

Sorry for TLDR.
