This thread is exactly why games like EQ2 and WOW were so popular to the casual gamer. Hardcore gamers liked EQ1 because of the simple formula.. Time spent = loot.

No instances / no being handfed loot. Simply put.... If you want loot get your butt down to the lair and camp the raid mob. This is the only reason that TR and TMO get mobs, time invested.

Time invested ment something completely difrent back then. Everything was new, You did not have Goggle to give you a strat and being the first to figure out anything on EQ accually ment something .
Being in a top Guild ment Days on end of death and wipes to figure out a strat and loosing countless levels in the process . It had nothing to do with logging out at so and so mob to wait for a phone call or going to the local walmart for a week supply of socks.
So if you wanna use this argument about investing time, then new rule. If your camping Trak, You have to be in the layer, Not logged out and Not afk for the duration . disable tracking in the zone and make it teleport you to zone in if you do log for more than 30 minutes or dont move for more than 10 minutes. Do this for a few weeks, then youll understand why rotations made sence for those of us that accually played back in 99.

For someone Who was on tribunals list of many first and spent 6 days a week from 6 till 2 in the morning Raiding(sometimes longer,UGG VP NIGHTMARE, Remeber that one quizy ?) this "time investment" augument on this server is somewhat laughable. But to each there own and i thank all of you for keeping this Thread civil thus far.
