P99 Sky Agreement - why its bad for the server

[Jokesteve]

See my responses in red:

1) The reasons for a rotation and why it’s important*** have already been stated in this thread. Do you disagree with those reasons?

Your reasons are just a result of the zone and how its intended. Keying in sky always took time on live, as it should here. Rotation or no rotation, mobs being up or down is the end result of guilds actively trying their best to get from one spot to the next. Thats classic my man.

2) I don’t think anyone was raid banned. I think some players got suspended, but all I’ve seen is RNF, so who knows.

You might be right, but all the same, selfish reasons are still my point that this shouldn't be happening and this agreement shouldn't be forced on anyone not in the agreement.

3) If someone is not using their slot, talk to their leadership and I bet it won’t be an issue.

4) What is your reasonable alternative to the sky rotation?

FFA has always been what I have done on live, and here on p99. The only alternative I could give to your agreement and those of us who are not in it would be to exclude particular sky days from your agreement all together for those guilds involved within the agreement. OPEN sky days for the server who are not holding slots. So everyone else has a chance at sky that does not have an indefinite sky slot for the foreseeable future. I don't feel that a raid guild that's capable should have to ask for permission to joint raid or ask for permission to use someone else's slot and risk getting raid banned because of a player made agreement that was made law. Perhaps 1-2 days a week that are completely open to the rest of the server that the guilds within your agreement simply can not attend would be the best course of action to fulfill all parties desires. Those within the agreement, and those that are not.

5) edit: what steps have you and your guild taken to actually move toward getting a sky slot?

My guild raids like every other guild on this server, taking targets when we can when they spawn, contesting them with the rest of the server. I don't see why sky should be any different and I've already given my reasons why. So, no, we have never actively sought after a player made agreement for anything. We hit things when we have the people online and when the need arises and the mob is up.
