not a single player has told me to plan on raiding

The fairest way to distribute tokens would probably be to require guilds to do a series of VP/epic style quests and increase their token rate depending on how many members they get "keyed" at certain levels. So the baseline level might entitle a guild to spawn one of each unique raid mob per month, while the highest level could be 1-2 a week. In addition, raid mobs should continue to spawn normally to allow organized TMO/FE guilds to compete with mobilization to get extra kills.

having to perform quests to get raid-mob-spawn-tokens is an interesting concept. there's always going to be a bottleneck somewhere though, and inevitably this would lead to the same complaints as the current system.

Tokens would work just fine if properly implemented. Make any guild that wants tokens kill the Spiroc Lord in front of a GM; lock any mobs spawned via tokens to that guild, and politely request each player to only be in one token guild (and permaban violaters). It's not rocket science.

It's just that the people that did all that tracking/batphoning feel that no one else should be able to be part of the raid scene without jumping through the same ridiculous hoops they did, like some fraternity hazing ritual.

edit: My preference btw is for simulated repops to start and then we'll see how that goes.

Rotations are like chopping the pot in a mtt. You do it because you want to reduce your variance. Here tho TMO is getting like 98% of the mobs so its -ev for them to chop the pot and rotate. Math bros.

Yes we get it TMO doesnt want a rotation because it will cut into their loots. DoesTMO own the server though? You would think that nil/Rog would want to keep a majority of their players happy instead of just 10% but to each their own i guess.

Most of us are just here to relive a few memories, not recreate Furor. EQ is not the crowning achievement of my life.

If you want to poopsock, and live your life on EQ and probably are fat and greasy, join TMO. They get the best raid targets. FE is in second when it comes to raiding. Other raiding guilds include Divinity, Taken, BDA, and I think I seen Rapture in hate the other day.

Basicially if you don't blow TMO, you don't get leet items. The GM's seem to like TMO the most. Even though they are known RMT'ers, cheaters, and basically hateful douches.

P.S. nothing about this server reflects a true classic experience. So when the whole arguments about something on this server being classic or not come up I laugh my ass off. There are so many things that haven't followed the classic timeline, and shit, blue diamonds didn't drop until velious. I do like the idea of TMO not hogging raid targets. They are greedy. They only kill most of the stuff because they don't want other guilds to get items. To me this is a douche move. I think they already got all their epics and phat lewts for their 7 alts a piece that they have. Hopefully when velious drops, some people might be able to get their epics, instead of buying the MQ's off some douchbebags in TMO that sell them for 375k to 1.5million PP.

Nothing? Sorry that you feel that way.
