heh, rotations.

i generally don't comment on blue server issues. but i have a question for you guys;

EQ is a competitive mmo based around the downing of mobs. downing the mob provides a sense of accomplishment provided only because of the competition from other guilds for those same contested mobs. i seriously doubt any of you feel like you did big things by downing a mob that is 12 years old, and has "how to kill" strats posted everywhere on the web, all the while there is absolutely no competition for the mob it self.

and so my question is this; if u remove the competition to downing a mob, what sense of accomplishment does killing the mob give you?

I like the races to the kunark outdoor dragons, draco, CT, vox and naggy. They aren't poopsocked for the most part. I agree with you that I wouldn't want those rotated.

I hate when VS, Trak or Inny are late in window because they are poopsocked to all hell. As a casual player who doesn't have the luxury of logging in whenever I feel like it, I dread when these mobs are late in their windows because it means when I get a chance to log in I either sit at a spawn, do something else and feel guilty that I'm not supporting the guild that has supported me, or just don't log in at all.

Anyway, I make it a point not to participate in these discussions and I'm trying to sound guild-neutral. I just wanted to point out that your assumptions about racing and accomplishment being better than rotating breaks down when the actual racing is removed from the equation. At least for me.
