Stop the Socking

[HeallunRumblebelly]

Everything is retarded except what you want. Got it. Will start drafting the new p99 rules.

Why is foot racing retarded exactly?

Finally an answer! thank you!

Well, kind of an answer. What I was asking about was if that mage CoH'd in your FTE'r or if your FTE'rs foot-raced from the zone in. Surely someone knows!
You guys are good at dodging the question at the heart of the matter. You almost had me for a split second there.

We used coth on our tank and got FTE and our tank got shit on and we wiped. IB came and cleaned up our usual mess and got the kill.

The biggest issue I see with socking is the circumstances that cause it: variance

Shit isn't classic. We've had 96 hour windows and guilds were not afraid to sock it. You want to get rid of socking? Massively reduce variance.

C/C/R, full FFA repops, 1 hour windows, each class makes their own dumb rules

everyone gets to go outside

You had to go and spoil it, didn't you? Now nobody will ever agree to reduced variance. Vegetables like sunlight, neckbeards not so much, I'd have thought you understood that by now. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How is foot racing better than say CotHing?

The only redeeming quality it has, is that you have to *maybe* coordinate with your tracker on your movements for the 4 roaming dragons.

It still requires you sit at your computer staring at a start line for 16 hours while another person stares at another pixelated area for 16 hours and batphones when a pixel dragon appears.

With both CotHing and foot racing you have to maintain buffs and be at your desk the entire time waiting for a 16 hour spawn.

Don't see how foot racing or CotHing are any different in their competitiveness.

[Gimp]

C/C/R with much reduced variance definitely gets my vote. No more of this stupid FFA with cothduck mages and all the other stupid shit that happens.

More earthquake repops too. Those are fun.

One actually includes the word "race" in it, which sounds alot more like competition? The other one sounds an awful lot like a macro.

Seems like Taken doesn't want to give up COTHing because you're willing to go that extra mile and win some FFA, with foot races you have less of a chance due to TMO/IB already doing that themselves in C, and Chest agrees with Taken because he doesn't like to agree with TMO/IB

ya'll are being dumb
