Either there's an agreement that you have to help, and mimimum level

Or no agreement and its a DPS race
Why? If you win the roll the spawn is yours and that's it. Get your friends together and beat the event.

The Scout fight should be done by guilds and groups of friends ... just like it was on live (and just like everything else in the game).

Socialist pixels aren't classic.

IIRC Whisperwing handed over shrine keys initially, to avoid a bottleneck and resulting disputes/petitions.

Game's also free, with unlimited accounts, instead of $9.89/mo.

Unclassic of course.

But the difference is, they're an unclassic solution to an unclassic problem (we've got a much more top-heavy and active-raider server than live ever had). Scout is just needlessly unclassic server self-own.

Especially if we're talking about bringing a level 46 who doesn't bring a small group to kill captain.

What a terrible rule. Either 55+ and everyone stays to help - or no level restriction on the roll and you are on your own killing the Captain.

Also though - the bracer is only very marginally better than a Silver Chitin Wristband until melees start getting more HP per point of stamina.

So why would you waste your time rolling on one for a level 5 toon, when you'll get only a marginally improved version of a copiously available droppable item?

I had bracer on this character at level 5. Before rolls you could just run up and turn in the quest. I also had a full set of SS gear, yelinak talisman, and craslith. The server is big enough to support all play styles and if someone wants to super twink to the extreme they should be able to.

The general idea isn't bad, but it comes years after the fact, too the point of being needless, much like the restriction on bards kiting indoors. The time to consider a scout level requirement came and went after the early years of SoV, when 46+ characters were still gearing and competition for lesser mobs remained. Now, most every main and alt on blue has at least one scout reward or better. Raid geared alts are what keep the xp zones populated, even if that's accomplished through soloing/duoing.
