Proposed Raid Rule Adjustments/Changes

[wycca]

Despite what some think this would not become a race or bardquest. This would become gatequest in many zones.

Autofire is bad, gatequest/bardquest/anti-small guild quest is worse. The best solution is to remove autofire.

I hesitate to get involved in this because Sirken continually has posted that there are new changes coming to the raid scene that will make Autofire a non issue, however, there has been claims that changing spawn points will turn it into a IP exemption abuse war.

When we talked about doing the 1/1/1 discussion we talked about the increase of earthquake repops and how FFA encounters would increase training and Trakanon ect. Sirken's response was "training is always illegal and we will throw down some SERIOUS ban hammers."

Since then training has gone down considerably on the raid scene and I think the same will apply to IP exemption abuse. At least that is detectable.

however i will say, every dev is busy as fuck right now with velious and fixing things that are broke that are already on the server.

i would absolutely not hold my breath waiting for non classic dev changes to the raid scene.

evenm if it was randomized spawn spots, you guys realize that guilds like BDA/IB/TMO/Taken and anyone with a very large playerbase will still find and roflstomp those merbs before guilds with half the member count can do the same. if anything, not knowing where the spawn would be will hurt the smaller guilds imo.

i'm not saying im right, or my word is law, just sharing my opinions

I think that the major point on the randomization (which probably can't happen anyway) is that when it's a Class C or FFA mob, the spirit of competition is heightened, yet somewhat equalized, by the randomization. Smaller guilds have absolutely zero chance in a known spawn point engage race vs. bigger guilds (as you state) - but randomization would add some intrigue to it.

...until zones start to have 30 trackers from a dozen guilds walking from ZL to ZL doing a police call, picking up trash and cigarette butts until they stumble upon a dragon on accident.
