You ok with a rotation only of those guilds currently trying? Ie:core/am/Ag? You get a rotation just not with anon

I think my last post just answered this, but to clarify: a lot of the current system's defenders try and frame it as "top guilds vs. everyone else", which is it is in a sense. But I'm not seeing it that black and white: I see a lot of gray guilds that are capable of the EverQuest part: organizing a large group of people with proper tactics to kill dragons ... but aren't able or willing to "compete" with the made up "current P99 raid scene idea of competition" part, which again has little to do with classic EQ.

If you can't make an honest defense of your beliefs, I guess all you have left is dishonest cheap shots.

That means admitting that a lot of our raid circumstances are unavoidable. P99 has higher population than many in-era live servers

[Ripqozko]

I'd venture to say most guilds trying are happy, maybe a few rules ironed out. It'd be more legit if you said you wanted rotations for Anon to get mobs intead of "for better of server" which ya wouldn't know about.

its a thread about raiding do you know what context is

[Nirgon]

Competitive non pvp is still the stupidest shit ever in an EQ setting

[loramin]

I did say that, but I didn't say all live servers had lower population, I said "many" did. Based on the screenshots I've seen of live servers back when population numbers were published (and from the closer-to-Luclin end) that seemed to be true, but I won't swear I'm an expert on live population numbers or anything.

Regardless, if you kept the rest of that sentence you'd see that I also listed two other factors, one of which (the high density of top-level characters) I indicated was far more significant. So please don't get lost in the weeds: we all know that P99's population is uniquely top-heavy relative to live, that that impacts our raid scene, and that we have to be honest about it if we want the best raid scene possible.

But really, if the worst thing about the argument I made was that one minor supporting point was off, that says great things about my argument overall [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
