Re: Raid Situation

[chickmagnet]

I stand corrected, seems you need to contact their public relations department, congrats on getting Ragefire from Taken, audio was great

[chickmagnet]

yea, im still posting, I just leveled up to a skeleton, was sick of being a bat

They should just disable all the raid content for the next 6 month's and let everything cool down. No more raid CSR stuff to worry about, no more agreement mediations, and we already know they don't and shouldn't care about the player's fun level. This server has been more popular than even during the suspension.

ive got an idea, how about sirken's rules but with no respawns, I think his rules would help fix the server, I just don't believe in handing out mobs....work for what u get

That doesn't fix anything. That just means that Tier 1 guilds can't touch half of the raid content each month, losing 50% of mobs (Tier 1 doesn't like it), and Tier 2 still has to compete with other Tier 2 guilds (Tier 2 doesn't like it).

u really think wiping the server will help? ill have a team in place, help pl a group to 57, hold down chardok....guild only and while all of u guys are still in blackburrow, my guild will be holding down the server with no competition until velious opens up....good luck

[chickmagnet]

woah! I said no respawns, that was part of losing mob cycles....just the rules....

Side Rules:
anyone caught intentionally training at raids eats a perma ban, and their guild eats a four week raid suspension.

we strongly encourage guilds to work out their own disputes before contacting the CSR staff, as you will probably not like our rulings.

respect FTE messages, anyone that ignores FTE and Kill Steals a mob will earn their guild a four week raid suspension.

No guild will have more than two representatives present at any raid mob at any time.

Players will not be allowed to camp out at raid mobs ahead of time to encourage actually racing for targets.

Consider greatly reducing variance if the poopsocking can be curbed by the above rules.

No DA Stalling, period.

A Guild will be considered a Teir 1 Guild by the staff, as soon as it starts competing for dragons within Veeshan's Peak.

"Welcome new player to P99, once you hit 46+ and want to raid and see content, under the current system you will have to sit near your computer and "track" for hours at end for a POTENTIAL attempt at a dragon."

Yeah, that'll bring them in droves. You call that competition? I call that an unhealthy lifestyle.

The flaw in this thinking is that one of the server's stated purposes is to let people experience content that was otherwise unavailable to them. Casuals have a reasonable expectation to meaningfully participate in endgame content on a reasonable basis.

The standard by which loot is earned is killing the mob. That's it; nothing is being handed out or going unearned. One person working harder for their kills does nothing to lessen the objective value of another person's kills. FTE competition is desirable and fun for many people, but don't move the goal posts by holding others up to the heightened standard you might establish for yourself.
