Yeah, no one does Tunare regularly because there's a real chance at getting 0 loot since we're now stuck in dev purgatory between the weapons showing nerf and the loot table fix.

I don't see why we don't just treat bosses similar to camps. First group / raid that's there has claim to the boss. After 1 hour (starting from spawn of boss) or 1 wipe, whichever comes first, the raid that was next in line gets 1 hour or 1 wipe. You can only claim 1 boss at a time.

Could 1 guild out-poopsock other guilds by simply being at mobs claiming them hours and hours before anyone else? Sure. But while they're claiming that boss, they can't claim anything else, so anything that spawns while they're claiming the first is off limits for them unless they give up their claim to other bosses they're camping. A 'boss' could be anything with a FTE message.

TL;DR: p99's raid system is shit.

It's almost as if this is an emulation of an 18 year old game that people start playing for nostalgia.

No clue how people ended up playing it religiously and think you absolutely need to clear ToV every 7 days for the rest of your life.

If only a 1 hour lockout and instances weren't the same thing. Oh wait, they're not!

Is running/racing for first FTE still a thing?

Then shit really gets classic.
I think you need to change that to #TetherTheDragons

If dragons and guards are tethered a certain distance to their spawn point you could still pull them to a reasonably close kill spot (classic) and need to split guards away.

Maybe if you pull them past tether range call of the zero goes into effect to prevent exploiting.

This would prevent zone line pulls and still offer the Classic experience with all encounters.

See my tether suggestion in previous post. Would make encounters most classic.

Sirken and co. must be so sick of changing the raid rules (and adding 2x monthly repops) only to have 80% of the server complain every time. "We need this" or "If only they would change this." You guys accidentally picked the server that is unforgiving to casual guilds, which I admit is a little bit of a tough break. But then you continue to choose to be in casual guilds and wonder why its not going your way. Adapt by leaving the server or joining the top guilds. There is nothing that they can do or will do for you.
