Asking a favor from the two top guilds on the server

[kotton05]

Tarathiel said it good. Lots of great ideas but leads to same conclusion. Only thing I could add is interpersonal relationships amongst officers and members amongst guilds. There is always bad apples. But I've sure found gems in every guild on the server. Maybe something forged thru friend ship could only then a spawn be delegated away. Idk just spit balling.

Really with the post deleting?

Anyone ever think of this?

The way we have the server now as capitalism.
Rotation would be communism.

the USA is capitalist, but the government still intervenes to break up monopolies...

current state of the raid scene is basically anarchy =p

Getting rid of the FTE policy entirely would be a great first step to fixing things around here.

remove variance and eliminate gm intervention except on cases of ninja looting, i guarantee there would be a rotation within month

who would want that tho? peace doesnt make for exciting thread titles and website traffic

if all the threads were about "what class i should make?" or "whats a good spot for a lvl whatever shaman to solo" then this would be a rather dismal place

I agree this would be a great step after removing FTE, with the exception that training should still be considered something against the "play nice policy" and suspensions should be awarded for breaking such policy(outside of Greifer's Peak of course).

They also should enforce a "raid force" policy, that once you have enough players in a zone that could realistically kill a particular target and they are in position to engage such a target that they should be given first dibs on said target.

This would specifically be a good way to combat a guild like TMO who have many individual players camping multiple alts at different mobs so via batphone they are a click away from adding another player to the force since poopsocks involving multiple guilds can't exist under this ruleset and whatever character that's camped there is camped there for nothing in this situation.

This suggestion of course has been repeatedly ignored even though it's known there are timestamps for how long characters have been logged in and when they enter zones so proving who's "force" was there first is as simple as a GM looking at a zonelog.

People will always find things to flame each other over, don't lose faith just yet.

variance was a good experiment, but i think it causes more problems than it fixes

did a GM a few pages back speak admiringly of the zerg guild approach to gaming? The single worst guild model eq -- or any other online game -- has ever sunk to?


all is now explained. The server is run by drones who dream of drone armies. Yikes.

It used to be considered shameful to have a roster that exceeded your raid force. Glad to see the GM's here keepin things gimped.

Pretty sure he said if a few of those guilds merged they could compete for the mobs. If you feel that means zerging that's your perception, or if you look at it rationally it could just mean that if you have a guild of 40 ppl and you merge with a guild of 40 ppl then it's more likely you could field 30-40 ppl to kill raid mobs when it pops. Just curious what is your raiding experience here on P99?
