I think Uthgaard's insinuations in the posted log are dead-on.

You guys don't WANT to stop poopsocking.

Sure, you might SAY you do because you SAY have better ways to spend your Friday nights... but if you did, you would go do those things.

You WANT that dragon loot at all costs. And if that means poopsocking to secure it, you will. After all, if you WANTED to stop poopsocking, people in your guilds would stop logging in. Or they'd find another guild. Or realize how much of their lives they are wasting away on pixels, burn out, and move on.

But the simple matter of the fact is no one is pointing a gun to their heads telling them to poopsock in Trak's lair.

They absolutely need to have that loot. So they will do what it takes to get it. They will muster every advantage they can get. If they can't out-mobilize, they make sure they start closer to the spawn in question. If they can't outgun another guild, they mass-invite to ensure they have better numbers. If they can't beat the other guild to the raid target, they poopsock. If they can't do that, they have the rules changed to give themselves a more even playing field.

Holy shit, if you guys applied that much time and energy into solving world famine, Ethiopia would be full of fatties! :P

The only way to win is not to play.

No one ever said it wasn't applicable. It is still a valid rule. The discussion was about the two guilds agreeing to fairly compete solely based on FTE, and not poopsocking in the future. Refer to Jeremy's thread in server chat for the discussion on making a case for changing the rule.
That was actually Tiggles' thread, the Proposed Changes ... thread. Here is a link: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=44277

How does Zeelot's suggestion change anything. Now you're sitting on the ledge 300 yards away with 50+ people instead of on his spawn point. You moved things back a week and nothing has changed. True, FTE will be easier to establish, but the true problem (poopsocking) still remains. People are still logged in 24/7 if they want to kill Trakanon.

For the health of the server and both guilds, you would think something more substantial than move back 300 yards would have been pushed. With that said it's still better than sitting on spawn point and hoping you're in the right spot to get proxy aggro and FTE.
