1/4 of all mobs to be left up for 90% of the server is kind of laughable, but not in the way you think.

the problem is we all know that if IB/FE and TMO decide to leave mobs up, BDA will get 90% of those mobs. Is that really giving back out to the casual players or is it only giving back to BDA?

I think we all agree we want the casual players to see some of the high end content, we just don't agree that all casuals = BDA.

I want to leave mobs up for newer guilds, not for BDA and Taken.

That's why I proposed the mobs left up on the weekend be on rotation. Everybody gets what they want, hard cores can still race for mobs most of the week, casuals can take turns on encounters. It's a pretty fair compromise where the top raiding guilds are still getting 75% of the mobs.

If a guild wants in the rotation, they're not going to compete for the mobs during the week. If they compete for a mob during the week, they're out of the weekend rotation. Pretty simple.

Considering guilds like BDA and Taken have gotten these mobs before, should you guys choose to do some rotation on what's left up, I think the smaller guilds should get twice as many spawns as these guilds that have killed this content before.

Everyone wants to try, that's the problem we want to solve.

Exactly. No one wants to try and compete for dragons. It's not fun trying to compete with an army twice one's size. The solution to this dilemma is to join the guild with the most people and most alts. That guild right now is TMO. You can be as skilled and organized as you want, but unless if have a similarly large force, there is no real competing.

Everyone joins TMO because it's guaranteed loot. This is a problem which will keep perpetuating itself because it's 2013(almost 2014, not 1999.

Don't have to join TMO you can do what Sloan did.

It's not that people don't want to try more or less, it's just not fun cause this emu server gives you unlimited accounts therefor I have a toon at every spawn including vp at the moment, while a fresh 60 tries to do what I do and quickly quits, therefor not classic, so this isn't a classic problem to all those people who cry it's classic...

It's time we figure a way "Sloan style" to at least give another smaller guild with a slower mobilization a chance every 2-3 weeks.
