I know, I know, but everything you've said so far is something along the lines of GET FUCKED POOP SOCKERS. That's not really a positive contribution to the discussion. I'm interested in hearing from people because at the end of the day, we're all one community. I didn't think people wanted a ToV Guild rotation..

P.S, I completely understand why this was done. The timing is a little strange, but I wouldn't want to deal with a bunch of raging nerds about pixel dragons either. However I think we should have a chance to police ourselves. I know in the message it was said that the rules "Encourages rulebreaking" but unless all of our officers conspired to cheat the system in a secret officer only team speak, I FELT like we went above and beyond to be within the rules. /Shrug.

I'll always love p99, but this kills the raid scene, which I loved.

Just instance the zone.

How a "bag limit" solution isn't implemented instead is beyond me.

Out of all the possible solutions, that one still inspires "Raid competition" while deflating the raid scene monopoly.

Guilds pick their targets, and they compete for them... but can't pick them all.

Guids rotating raid zones, thats defiently one way to solve a problem. But, why not just make the rule, no pulling trash and raid bosses to zone ent? This would solve the problem of people accidently pulling raid encounters ontop of unexpecting other guilds who might just be trying to do their own thing, while upholding the intergerity of the games most basic values of competition, organization, mobilization and skill. Just trying to help think outside the box here on how this community might be able to come up with a solution that keeps in tact the intregerity of the game while upholding long standing traditions of the server.

I would think they could easily implement rooted ToV dragons or "teathering" which was SOE fix to things.

Well, to be fair, their fix for things was also to release new expansions so top guilds moved on to new and better loot.

Very very healthy change for the server in my opinion. Glad to see it finally.

Ya, braknar did not think this one out at all! So let's say one of these smaller, casual guilds, that's just so excited to finally see ToV gets there slot, they are all set up and ready, kill there first ToV dragon, and........ Earthquake, AM/BG/AG/Core show up and proceed to kill all the rest of the dragons and said casual guild has to wait another 4 months for a shot at ToV......

Repop days are going to fun. The whole reason for this was too many people in ToV and now on repop days when ToV is FFA.... well shit you just shot 0-3 big holes in your system a month.

Ok, first off, do you really think Braknar just whipped this up on his own? The staff does not make major changes to the raid scene because one GM decides to; I guarantee Rogean was involved, and very likely all the other GMs and possibly Nilbog and some devs too (I'm unclear exactly how much the devs weigh in on server operation stuff, but they must at least a little because they've posted comments about it in the past).

Second, do you really think the staff would make such a major change without even thinking of the last major change they made to the raid system (ie. earthquakes)? Like, their whole goal is to manage the raid scene, but in a few short months they completely forgot their last raid scene fix and just decided to implement a completely new and incompatible one?

I mean, I guess all that's possible, but it seems a lot more likely that Rogean et all are a lot more competent than you guys are giving them credit for. And 10+ successful years of running the most popular emulated EQ server on the planet sort of supports my take.
