Rotation on Raid Targets ?

I would like to see a rotation at least attempted again, this time with more than two guilds involved in it. The only reason I believe it was ended when it did was because there were more guilds coming up to raid -- a pretty poor excuse. It was essentially a head-start on the racing, since those guilds had a gear and experience advantage over any others wanting to raid those targets. Now with the timers, these up and coming guilds get one shot -- if they're lucky. The original rotation guilds were not under such pressure.

It's worth a shot I believe, I don't think the previous rotation was given enough of a chance with more guilds.

I wouldn't mind leaving Maestro or Draco off of a rotation, to leave some FFA mobs to race for.

Basically rotation was just IB and Trans and it only lasted a short while. Divinity was ready to throw their hat in the ring shortly after it was started.
We killed Naggy to prove ourselves on 2/6/10, a day after the new raid rules involving rotation were posted on the forums.
Sadly this also happened to coincide with the kithicor GM event (2/14/10) which signaled the opening of Hate and the end of the rotation.

The rest is history. We're still standing tall though.

Wait, what I say wrong? I was there for the whole thing!
Hell it's even all in the forums just like I wrote it.
Hell man, I wasn't even saying anything bad. Your guild even congratulated us on the Naggy kill. /shrug

Yeah, you're right, I've never raided in any game ever. Please quit trolling with your internet tough-guy ePeen nonsense.

Cool retort bro, go strait for my personality.
Seriously, you CAN NOT understand the shitstorm that is the drama in endgame until you've been there/

I, for one, think a rotation is a grand idea that has never been considered before, ever. I like the duel for raid choice idea, but that's a little unbalanced by class disparities. Instead, we should find a neutral location and all meet there, and have a RL duel to the death. We can use a megaphone to announce the winners and losers (and flee-ers), and the winner of the RL duel gets first raid choice.

don't act as if the drama on this server's endgame is somehow unique, because it was played out on every single server on live as well.

like i said in my post before you shot me down, i've been on the receiving and the giving end of "competition" and all it really comes down to is being faster than the other guy, but to be fair about it. we cockblocked coirnav for 2 months. was it right to do? no. not at all.

That was basically my point - thanks Desert. CPTMULLER, I have *no doubt* that the endgame is a drama shitstorm - hell, I (obviously) browse the forums. I'm sure there's even more nonsense when 2 guilds show up in the same zone, and all over guild chats. There's enough drama in any zone that is popular (from Crushbone to Unrest to Guks to raiding), that just because the loot is "more important", doesn't mean it's not surround by people basically ready to act like asstards. Hell, it's the same people, just with more /played under their belt.

That *doesn't* mean that people can't calm down, be rational, and just try to enjoy the game realize that sharing is caring!

Although I still stand by making raid targets respawn every 30 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Comparing the end game on this server to live is laughable

The end game on this server is very comparable to Kane Bayle (where I was in the #2 guild, Celestial Rapture, and we were cock-blocked for months in Velious and Luclin era by the #1 guild, In Virtue, led by our friend Krimz) and to Stromm (where I was in the #1 guild, Realm of Insanity, and we cock-blocked the hell out of the other guilds for months in Luclin, PoP and GoD era). Every mob was FFA. What is different is that there were far fewer whining posers demanding that their level 43 ranger should get a chance at dragon loot.

Maybe everyone ate flowers and farted butterflies on Jeffrey's server, but I sure doubt it. It seems a whole lot more likely that Jeffrey never played end game on live. That would be consistent with the complete lack of substance in every one of his posts.
