Sirken you know I <3 you but this is some serious bullshit.

First, if you want any chance VS/Trakanon you must have your raid force fully buffed out at VS pit/Poop Mountain. So your 20-30 players can go for exactly one target at a time, and they get to play alts in the meantime.

Second, not everyone is going to log on for every batphone. Even if we assume you only track during US primetime or whatnot you won't get better than 60% raid attendance if your players have any sort of life other than EQ. That means you'll be fielding 15-20 people. And lets not forget ifi you only track during US primetime there will only be maybe 3 Trakanons a month. You are saying you would score 100% on them, PLUS get VS, PLUS get other stuff. Not going to happen.

Third, in order to get FTE you must abandon all semblance of strategy. Your 15-20 people probably could kill Trakanon with no time pressure, but with TMO there you'll have to make all sorts of concessions. You can't kill the protector first; you have to train him away. Not only does this reduce your numbers, but it means you have to kill Trak real fast. Or what about CT? It takes like 40 to kill him here because if you clear the zone first the way Verant intended the other guild will leapfrog you 100%.

Now maybe you could pick up some of the less contested stuff like Fay or Sev but there is no way you would take even a single Trakanon from TMO.

Why must you insist on trying to turn P1999 into Lord of the Flies? Why can't we all just go back and relive a few memories? It's 15 years after the real EQ happened; whatever minimal bragging rights existed were handed out back then. No one is going to give a fuck who "dominated" P1999 in 10 years.
