Chest you may as well give it up because it is not going to happen. You say "let's make this better for everyone" but all I hear is "let's guarantee ourselves more than we are currently getting and handicap the opposition, if they'll agree to it." What you propose eliminates so much of what I love about Everquest. To me, Everquest is a game of moments, and that moment where you show up late to the party undermanned and extremely outgunned and you still are able to make it happen, well, that's what gets me firm =) Tell me that sniping last week's VS didn't get get you at least semi-erect, Chest!

No, a rotation by a different name is not the solution. I don't know about you, but eliminating those instances of long odds and miraculous gusto and crushed spirits would take a real chunk of the fun away from this for me. You are advocating racing to have a certain number of people in zone; this sounds really fucking stupid! Like seriously, it's a terrible suggestion. You're just substituting some altogether arbitrary circumstance for a more telling set of circumstances. I guarantee you that if we adopted some such system that we would see the same level of retardation with claims as to who had how many and when just as we have seen in the past with the 15-man rule.

I know we've all bumped heads a few times, but I don't feel that there is usually a problem; usually things are pretty smooth. If you really want to simplify some of the hairy situations that require staff intervention, I think you'd do a lot more for everyone by jumping on the "let's automate some of the GMing" bandwagon and start advocating a system of FTE shouts and such that I've heard other people talking about. These actually sound like some viable solutions that could make life better for everyone.

In the meantime, let's just try to remember that we are all fat virgins living in our moms' basements, and that we really could just all get along! I don't like animosity, usually =) We can keep it amicable, hopefully, even in the face of a little raid drama.
