@ Loramin...I'm just a nobody but, here is my honest opinion.. isn't this server built around competition though?

Absolutely 100% not! Look in the upper right hand corner: reproducing classic EverQuest is what this server is built around! The unclassic "competition" is just the best solution the maintainers have found (thus far: they keep changing things over time). They want classic EQ, and based on what they've said they really would prefer not to have to deal with the raid scene at all.

Nobodies (your words [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) are entitled to their opinion to. So as a nobody on this server, ask yourself: do you think you should have to join a guild where people use artificial mechanisms (eg. CoH ducking) to "compete" in ways that never were practiced on live servers, or do you think any guild capable of killing dragons should have a chance to? Which server would you prefer to play on?

Mhmm I agree.. Dev's here are doin a great of that for sure! They've reproduced the classic experience for me levels 1-60. Got to see end game content in and out of a guild. (Thanks AM for that open ToV raid). I entirely agree w/ you it isn't classic to be CoTH ducking for raid targets, but it doesn't prevent you, or any other guilds from doing so (and gaining an unfair advantage). And I believe CoH ducking has been discouraged among agreeing top end guilds making it more some-what-fair.

In the grand scheme the players and community decide what the end game scene is like(without GM interference). Unless you can get all major guild leaders to approve and agree "rotations" is what's best for everyone the current rule-set seems reasonable.

If a guild is capable of killing a dragon .. my answer is: Yes! they should have an equal chance too(in some form or fashion). Which as of now.. It is (un-classic as you state it) where you'd require 2 CoTH mages properly parked at X,Y,Z targets and a capable pull team / raid force ready to engage during a 16 hr window...

I would continue to play on P99 and roll new chars to experience classic EQ at it's best until I get bored AF.

I believe those that want to see end game content should go through all the heartache and pain (Acquiring Dkp, Tracking Dkp, Dealing with Guild Drama, Winning a /random, All the good stuff that sets this server apart from other servers) that's required to see dank gear is the best raid system overall for everyone on Project 1999 because the current agreed upon mechanics -no instances- doesn't allow it any other way..

In your example the rotations were never for the top content yet you want ToV rotated (the current top content). You aren’t trying to have a debate, you are pushing your own agenda while claiming everyone else (most of them being people that point out the falacies of your arguments) are arguing in bad faith. You are the only one here arguing in bad faith. Shut the fuck up already you ignoramus.

On the contrary there has been a mix of dishonest and honest arguments made in this thread (as is common for RnF). I'm going to keep calling out the dishonest ones as dishonest, and trying to engage with the honest ones, and I'll take my rustling of people like you as a sign I'm on the right track.

Yep completely leap over my point and go back onto your crusade. You’re a fucking moron.

I think it’d cool for the server to do a divided up quake/spawn cycle like once a year. AA ban 2018 was pretty fun albeit tiring on the logistics.

Basically a GM Event

[pogs4ever]

I heard it’s pretty hard to get a DA idol anyways.

[loramin]

Well, I'm getting pooped from all the trolling, so to save my sanity I'm only going to engage with people making honest arguments. If you want a response from me, please use the following rubric somewhere in your post:

I believe _____ is the best raid system overall for everyone on Project 1999 because _______

If you just want to troll, troll away, but I'm not responding.

[jpetrick]

Loramin lacks the critical thinking skills to process anything other than his warped reality.

[gundumbwing]

I'm pretty sure the powers that be don't care about feelings of exclusivity some poor souls might feel about a game this old.

As far as I can tell they just want a musuem dedicated to classic EQ with as little drama as possible that forces their direct involvement and/or ruining it for the visiting patrons. If they decide it's through rotations then it is what it is and the general "classic" feel of everquest is left untouched in the grand scheme of things.

And considering they already publicly entertained the concept of implementing a rotation (whether in earnest or jest), it's clear they don't particularly care if people decide to leave over it. Just sayin!
