Raid Petitions / GM CS

except that you essentially move mobs back on 7 day timers to 9 day timers. we've had 1 mob per cycle spawn in the last 6 hours of it's possible lifespan almost every week. The last thing the server needs is *less* mob spawns.

Yes this was acknowledged already, I didn't really think of that when I made my post. If not for this I think it would be a great idea.

Add in a multiplier for every raid mob up for each variable spawn rate -

Example - 10 mobs with 10 days spawns with +/- 3 days with a linear increase in spawn chance from day 7 to day 10 (day 0 = day 7, and day 3 = day 10 for the following equation) & each spawned boss gives a 1.5x multiplier. So:

P(day) = 0.317*day + 0.05 <--- 5% chance initially, increases by 31.7% per day

1 boss up on day 0.5, other bosses have a:

P(0.5) = 0.2085 * 1.5 (the multiplier) = 0.31275 or 31.275% chance to spawn.

5 bosses up on day 2:

1.5^5*P(2) = 1.5^2 * 0.684 = 7.59*0.684 = 519% chance to spawn

Ok, so the numbers aren't exact but you get the idea. However, this seems like a lot of non-Classic work for something that a random simulated patch day could do. Plus, I doubt the code even allows for something like this. Would be pretty cool, though I'm sure it lead to some interesting (or dbaggish strats) im sure.

Perhaps there's a lesson in this for the "riff raff."

When swearing, throwing tantrums, rules lawyering, training, disrespecting staff, kill-stealing, screenshot spamming, photoshopping, posting fake logs, creating 78-page forum threads, and lying don't work, there is nothing left to fall back on but what should be done in the first place if a petition response is desired: a polite request.

we all know civility works on the interwebs >_>


nobody ever thought to ask others to be nice... if only people had tried that xD


A+ post.. would read again.

Civility works just fine on the interwebs. The problem on this server (and else-webs) is the culture of entitlement that leads people to think they can get away with &lt;whatever&gt;.

See the GMs answer petitions then you get retards (tmo member or officer) swearing at them in public channels in front of everyone. Then you come here and complain that nobody is answering your petitions. Maybe if you guys werent acting like asshats all would be fine.

alkorin was merely commenting on a post about internet civility. the OP complaining about petitions is a VD member.

Bump for importance!

I can understand how being left in the dark on so many petitions can be frustrating. Whereas a 'petition denied' just says you didn't have enough evidence or you were flat out wrong and move along, leaving it ignored can make one or one's guild feel ignored, confused and lead to a deeper frustration. That can evolve to a sense of lawless-ness that actually encourages people to play in the "KS or be KS'd" style that I think we may be starting to see.

(edit: even on a non-raid level, I've already had plenty of circumstances where groups or individual players would come and out-damage me on a mob I already had been killing just because it had something visible they wanted. The behavior trickles down when players think there are no consequences.)

As for the recent Innoruuk that [I think] resulted in this thread, it would be a pretty big letdown if there wasn't some sort of response to whoever put the petition in, given the circumstances of that encounter (and yet another server first at stake). But more than that, it's the... 3rd or 4th innoruuk that's been claimed to be KS'd/ninja looted/trained in the past couple months that hasn't been resolved (another one involved a server first epic too!). It's more symbolic than anything if these get or don't get addressed.

But that's just my 2cents. I appreciate all the volunteer work the gm's, devs and guides put into the server, as well as any time reading through my potentially badly written post!
