Dumbest Rule EVER

[Fountree]

I agree with Bben in that I'd support TMO getting everything in a pure FTE environment over this current, confusing rule set. But I've always had that opinion. There shouldnt be any GM interaction with the raid scene on p99 and rotations, poopsocking etc. because its not classic. Raid rotations were player formed and enforced on live, the GMs never told the guilds how to play the game.

That's basically why the rules were made in the first place, cause you wouldn't get a chance either way, or you actually enjoy poopsocking inny for 3 days...
Whatever, difference of perspective I guess

Well with greatly reduced variance this isn't an issue anymore. But I'm fine with going back to the extended windows since it allows for daily raiding and more unpredictability in the windows. Better for non-US players, lower variance actually greatly helps TMO and Class C.

There is no how the server "should" be. The people managing it have stated that they want the server to be as classic as possible, but they've also said that the purpose of this server is to be accessible to a broad audience.

The devs set the "classic" standard, but they've also set the standard of accessibility. Neither one overrides the other; they've been made to coexist, and there's no authority for anyone else to claim that it must be otherwise.

I guess I'll say it again.


Having trackers spam auto target for 16 hour windows to FTE has really brought out the best Everquest has to offer... The rules are also designed around FTE, and If FTE is going to work, the rules need to be stated clearly and be concise. They obviously are not.

This is what happens when you try to micromanage everyone.

If you cant' taste that sarcasm, I can't help ya.

How is the server more accessible when Lord Bob, an up and coming guild, comprised mostly of members who are barely level 51 and whose players have little raid experience on p99, has to jump through a ton of regulated hoops to kill a Maestro? lol. In the grand sceheme of things, is this really important enough to suspend a lot of these players who just want to have a good time? Accessible my ass

I think you're an idiot and that your guild is a joke but I'll more than willingly answer any question you have so you don't slip up again. I'm that nice.

The rules are not perfect, and they certainly need some tweaking. Personally, I think that Class R should have much more leniency accorded it.

That said, the new rules are undeniably working, and they've opened up more content to more people than ever before. A few problems don't mean the whole system is broken.
