A. Classic was not rotated very often in my experience on brell, they were DPS races which are even more favorable for the zergs (which I am not a part of)

Same on Lanys T'Vyll. We had a very active, and very well used calendar system, but it was only for the raid mobs that weren't at the top end (old world planes, non-VP Kunark mobs, etc.)

Here is a month of that calendar, courtesy of the wayback machine, Circa Feb 2001. Note there are no mobs on it higher than maybe Innoruuk. (It's also just kind of a cool piece of history!)

hey

When you ignore the reality of an argument and instead rely on a false one (eg. by pretending support for rotations equates to wanting instances) you're being dishonest with whatever you're trying to advocate for.

Presumably, if you hard an honest argument you would have used that instead, but you didn't have one. Which makes sense, because rotations are not instances, they're 100% classic EverQuest, and they would in fact be better for the server as a whole ... but worse for the people benefiting most from the current system.

Normally I dont make real arguements in RNF but I'd like to just shine alittle light.

Some people enjoy the competition , I think most dont but what a competitive raid scene allows for is one thing which is the real reason why I think most people dont rotations (including myself tbh).

Now that sounds bad and selfish whatever right ? Well when I think about rotations what comes to mind is that now it's basically just a dice roll on who is gunna get the elite shiny loot from ToV. For instance, maybe Guild A gets a hobarts and ranger sword , but then a couple months later Guild F gets Vulaks Robe, Koi tridents , cloak of thorns whatever. Good loot from x dragons. When there is no longer any hands to be played in who gets the loot, it kinda just devolves into a scenario where theres nothing to progress for and theres not much satisfaction to be gained.

Sure exclusivness isnt a great premise to base your fun off of but let's be honest, if you're in a high end raiding guild / ToV raiding guild, you signed up for pixels. Yeah you meet some cool people but I would wager you dont want to sit in tov for 16 hrs if you take the gamble of getting loot away.

I've raided on this server for a long time now and despite at being a high contributing member in both of my 2 previous guilds, I have never and still to this day do not enjoy the nonsense that goes on in tov and the raid scene in general. But you know what, it's the only way to progress my character and progressing my character is what I find satisfying about this game.

So the idea of rotations is stupid to me because then, why do I care about playing a game where I can afk for 6 months and just show up when it's my turn to open the chest ?

Sort of a bored work downtime rambling but I feel like people avoid this reality or maybe I'm simply alone in this opinion. Who knows, doesnt really matter, tis a game

Exactly this

Isn't that how it is now, except it's you afk 6 days rather than 6 months. Only the FTErs/CothMages are actually doing anything. The rest just prepark, log in when their TeamSpeak alarm goes off, cast CH or backstab or click defensive for 20 secs and then collect their loot.

Sorry, your argument doesn't work here.

Why do we have Raid Discussion forums still anyway? It was birthed way back in 2014!

Majority of leader/officers in current raiding cannot post there.

New simpler rules probably are needed if current ones cannot be applied evenly however crafting those new rules is quite a challenge as nerds do not agree on even the color of the sky.

Hope this helps, happy Friday!

Everyone play "Lets spot the AM posters". Don't worry, its on tutorial difficulty.

[rezzie]

Ever since Tempest fizzled out the toxicity and lawyer-questing has mostly evaporated from the high-end raid scene.

Sure there are still disputes/disagreements, but incidents have been resolved between guilds amicably and, despite much reduced CSR involvement, it's not a total shitfest in ToV.

I understand that's possibly hard to grasp for people who only scour the forums and haven't logged in/raided in the last 3 years.

Most AM posters have it in their sig because why keep your Lambo in the garage where nobody can see it?

I would never deprive anyone from seeing my pride and joy that I see as a Lamborghini.
