The only problem i see with it is you would have to track a lot and all mobs. Simple solution: serverwide message when a raidmob spawns, yess!! imagine the fun!

But not classic, so i doubt it will ever be considered [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That's the best part -- it's impossible to track every mob. What are you going to do? Leave a tracker in Seb, KC, Skyfire, EJ, TD, SolB, Perma, Fear, DL, and Hate? Can't do it. You have to rely at least partly on the community. It's entirely possible Gorenaire could be chilling for an hour before anyone realizes -- and the fastest to find out will likely be the one who is friends with the poor idiot that gets eaten on his way to KC.

It takes the science out of the game. You're not going to have nerds with egg timers determining how and when mobs die anymore. There's always a chance that if you're in the right place at the right time, you get a jump on everyone else.

And this is just from the last page of the 9 pages that came up on the search.

not to say this has been done before, but it's been done before. let's get back to talking about my place in p99 history.

lol at Hasbinbad posting in nearly every one of these threads.

To Allizia's defence, and who is the only man on earth I'd bear children to, that was a good Phinny pull. Check it out on youtube sometimes lmao.

being mad at poopsocking is like being pissed at the guy who stands in line for 10days to get a ticket to his favorite band's concert.

[Ektar]

did allizia assist someone who swam invis up to phinny and targeted him, or did he invis up, target, swim back, and cast tash?

that's how it went down, right? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Got nothing to do with being mad at all. And if the people poopsocking were happy about it, I'd say more power to them.

The problem is that nobody is happy with that situation -- not even the guild getting the mobs. It's just what they're forced to do to win because if they didn't, someone else would. Eliminate the capability and you eliminate the problem.

or stop trying to make everyone happy.

If you want something bad enough, do what it takes to get it.

Fixing something that makes nobody happy =/= trying to make everyone happy.

You'd still get a fuck-ton of QQ if end-game raid mobs were all on 100% randomized spawn timers. "oh ma gawd 3 Traks in a row spawned Euro prime time, TR bias!"

But there'd be far more people actually enjoying the end-game. As it stands, the end-game consists of a never-ending cycle of burn out and reinforcement via merger. People burn out because logging out your main @ raid location 36 hours in advance just to log back in, engage, loot, and repeat is not fun.

Your analogy was bad.

Compare it more to:

Group of racers sit at finish line in a race until the gun is fired so no one else can win the race.

No competition, and it's fucking stupid. Every single person doing it should be ashamed of themselves.
