I don't remember how it worked back in '99 because I don't think I hit level 45-50 until Kunark came out, so there was a little bit more to do in the way of raid content... but was that the way it used to work on live servers? One guild does all the work breaking in and clearing the trash mobs in Fear/Hate only to have another guild take advantage of that work, leapfrog, and mobilize at a raid target further in the zone?

If you look closely, an IB tracker is wielding a massive black dildo.

I think they're up to something queer.

No that wasn't the way it worked.

One guild full of weirdos didn't party crash every zone a raid was taking place to leapfrog the guild that had just cleared it like one guild full of crazy weirdos does here every time a mob spawns.

Guilds didn't have druids sitting around afk in the middle of your raids tracking the mob they are planning on KSing or leapfrogging you for either

One guild full of weirdos has taken "serious business" and applied it to 10 year old content in a disturbing way

Yes, that stuff did happen. The sheer amount of retarded shit flooding from the cocksheath that is your mouth is fucking staggering.

It is very apparent you did not play back on live, or didn't play in a competitively raiding guild.

Guilds were always leapfrogging each other, ksing, training, etc.

You would know this, and about enchanters charming trash to down raid targets with ever increasingly shrinking raid sizes, had you been there.

You think planting a tracker in a zone and giving everyone in the guild access to that tracker is new? You're fucking retarded.

Honestly, I think that varied quite a bit from server to server. Many servers had player-enforced rotations, and many servers had "gentlemens agreements" on raiding rules that every dude abided by (c wat i did thur?). Conversely, many servers had FFA style rules, with consequences like you describe. Not arguing with you or w/e, just saying..

Guy, all you got are corpses. And seeing as how Salty trained blaine down a few levels some days ago, I think I know where those corpses came from. Either way, have 2 corpses there without timers gives you nothing. But I see that logic means nothing to this post, so I'm out =p


And hasbin I know about the "at the target" thing; if FB had 500 in the zone and were over at north wall, they weren't at the target. However, I wasn't there and don't find enough evidence to properly say where anyone was. So I ignored that variable. Perhaps I should have said that!

Have rules for Draco's 'at the target' even been defined?

Wouldn't the guild that broke fear and was currently clearing the trash mobs so they could move around and engage raid targets have the first rights to attempt Draco? Or on this server can a competing guild take advantage of another guild's plane-break and clearing of trash mobs and start clearing TT's to prep for Draco?

Seems like the winning strategy is to let another guild do all the work breaking/clearing and then while they're occupied with that, bring in your raid force for the juicy stuff?

Kinda sucks if that's the case. Just trying to understand so I know whether to bother playing and leveling up here or not.
