Jesus Christ.

Is this what you're worried about?

You'd rather precious time was spent on this? Ho-brudda.

If you guys don't like plugging im sure there are other games/servers for you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] .....seriously though as a caster i can gate away from almost everything this is just one more thing to put a melee at a disadvantage in getting away from pvp

the opportunity to get a few more kills in after someone plugs while im camping them at their bind sounds cool though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Raiders are thinking more along the line of zone control, not 1v1 random kills.

Guilds would zone plug enmass when a fight for zone control went south, and then would log back in enmass when the ones who made them plug started to occupy themselves again with progressing towards their raid target.

If zone plugging was delt with, then instead of a wave of geared/buffed enemy logging back in from a plug, the victors would only have to deal with naked enemy running back from their bind. Which of course is much easier to deal with. One group of rearguard could deal with the enemy trying to get their corpses instead of the whole raid sitting at the zoneline wondering when the enemy guild is going to log back in.

that's a great point...just wonder if there is another way around this...if there's not then i would be in favor of this but i would hate to see some noob punished because there's a train at both zone lines or someone getting bind camped even worse(might be bad examples just pointing out this effects non raiders in a lot of ways) when there was another solution

Haven't enough classic elements been butchered? Leave this alone / close it up.
