Asking a favor from the two top guilds on the server

I do not think a well reasoned conversation about how to change things is an exercise in futility, nor does TMO... or FE (trying to be inclusive here guys, sorry if I am assuming too much [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])

All of these references you have made were based on searching for the word rotation. This thread has been stated MANY times as NOT about rotations as we all (even the OP) seem to agree that this isn't the way to go.

It may be that in the end, some hybrid-bastardized rotation method is selected as the way to proceed, but until we have a solution, that has yet to be determined... for now we're leaving that ugly word out of it though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

my skepticism is based purely off past experience's/conversations. ive started these threads in the past as well, and many good ideas will get passed around them, but ultimately they always lead to

"people just want welfare mobs, if you want that shit get out there and take it"

or something

You do know that even with BDA or FV or FC or Divinity hanging out with a full force clearing Hate/Fear, and Maestro/Draco pops, you guys still mobilize and pull faster than those guilds can finish their current pulls, right?

if that's the case do you really deserve the mob? I can't think of any draco/maestro pops i've gone to since being in FE where this was even the case.

I know for a fact the last time I personally was in Fear, we were clearing, and Draco popped. You guys moved so fast we just decided to get out of the way, else we die in the madness.

I know for a fact the FIRST time I went to hate (a month ago), Divinity was doing the same thing, and TMO/FE/BDA mobilized for Maestro faster than Div finished their pull. They were not so lucky to get out, and ended up having their fun Hate clear wiped out.

i remember one where bda had wiped in fear when he popped and we came in and killed draco while almost wiping ourselves.

There have been just as many examples of guilds prepping for kills and getting them. Regardless back on topic any word from TMO about potentially leaving up non-priority targets?

Haters. They gon hate.

Tarathiel said it good. Lots of great ideas but leads to same conclusion. Only thing I could add is interpersonal relationships amongst officers and members amongst guilds. There is always bad apples. But I've sure found gems in every guild on the server. Maybe something forged thru friend ship could only then a spawn be delegated away. Idk just spit balling.

Really with the post deleting?

If someone presented that as *an actual design for a game* they would be drummed out of the business.

Granted, it may work for you and your wife, but it is still not healthy. It is the least imaginative solution to what to do with the high end eq sandbox, which gives you a server to get nostalgic on once or twice a week.

So it has settled: those who get into the ZKPLC guild, and the ultra casual.

Without a solid mid-game that can potentially cause havoc with the high end, all you got is an autopilot server. Weird OCD types running guilds that just endlessly farm all spawns, and give out the candy by officer vote fiat. Weird trip, man, weird trip.

Reminds me of Darkoor and Vis Maior on quellious. And we all know what happened to him

edit: google darkoor mistell

I agree with you 110%. Seriously, it may work for some people but in the grand scheme of things it isn't exactly bringing a whole lot of new players to the server. I know Vis Maior well I played on Quellious as well. I remember when an old time officer of VM started a public raiding guild for the server (Lost raiders of Norrath, LRoN). This consisted of MANY (5-10) smaller guilds that got together when people were available on a weekday or weekend and killed (at the time PoP was the big xpac) raid mobs. We flag all the way to the elemental planes before "I" decided to take a break from EQ. It gave other people a chance at things that they normally wouldn't have had the chance of getting. Mustaza ring any bells for anyone?

Anyone ever think of this?

The way we have the server now as capitalism.
Rotation would be communism.

the USA is capitalist, but the government still intervenes to break up monopolies...

current state of the raid scene is basically anarchy =p
