you realize they havnt been getting any FFAs already right. if everything is FFA they could pick a target and focus and might actually have a shot. And it would be more overall for them too even if they are still unable to get a FFA, because 2 weeks for R instead of 3. C and R both come and go quicker.

So you want to move to a system that benefits your guild more correct ? Let's be clear on this.

It's less mobs overall for the rotation you guys setup to "Help smaller guilds". It means those guilds that aren't good at mobilizing for FFA repops have to wait even longer to see content. The FFA repops only benefit guilds that already can kill FFA targets on respawns.

it also benefit those guilds who choose not to go after FFA targets on respawns

which is basically every guild but 3 currently

If a guild cant mobilize to kill a target when it spawns, no amount of rule changes will allow for that guild to be successful the majority of the time.

So while the race is cleaner in that all guilds big or small, competitive or not, can send their 2 'racers' of any level or class to the spot and hope for the best, it doesnt really change much besides a new label and packaging.

how about this code change that was a popular one.....randomize the spawn points.

If the dragons dont have set spawn points, having a mage face track is widely less effective than a ranger or bard or whatever

randomize the spawn points gets rid of mages being useful, hell even improves the 'race'.

it doesnt solve poopsocking tho, but like we said earlier in this thread until the staff:

1. Defines poopsocking for them
2. alter how you fundamentally play EQ

People will always sit there, many of times simply afk anyway.

All of what you posted is mostly false. IF they don't have the resources to compete in the current environment of FFA spawns they won't have the resources to do so on repops. 12 mobs outside of VP on repops. 8 guilds. 2 kill bag limit. IB and TMO will go after VS rather quickly. That will leave 11. Taken and BDA will hit their bag limits. That will leave 7 between 6 guilds and TMO and IB. There simply is no room for the smaller guilds to mobilize quick enough to make it happen. This will be a pure gain for the haves not the have nots.

Without reading this thread, I'm gonna make a few assumptions.

1 - Chest has made an appearance talking about championing a class R rotation, server hero status
2 - Someone has mentioned Taken and coth ducking at least twice, probably way more than that though.
3 - Clark has posted lots of pics that make absolutely no sense and add nothing to the discussion
4 - Nothing gets solved from this and this thread will easily reach 30 pages.

How'd I do?

It is confirmed yes.

[Gimp]

So if there's no more FFA spawns, is Taken still going to employ their coth-duck for 16 hours strategy? Or is that only to spite class C guilds?

its only to spite class C guilds, they are a model member of the rotation during class R kills
