Or if you wanna take a rotation to its ultra-absurd "fair" setup:

Poll active members in each guild.

Set up a rotation where each active member of a guild counts for one slot.

/random it to set order

Why should a guild of 100 people (for example) have the same allotment of free pixels as a guild of 40? They would have to split a set number of pixels among more members, meaning their pixel ratio would be less, creating an "unfair" situation.

TL;DR who gives a shit, they're kunark mobs, you've killed them dozens (hundreds?) of times, if you get a kill, great, if not, did that really ruin your life? Or your enjoyment of the game?

Zerg guilds going to Zerg! Like I said before, Class "R" is for the Bad Zerg guilds, Class "C" is for the skilled Zerg guilds... Pick where you belong.

Some of us don't value the zerg, but to poop sock dragons 24/7 you have to have a Zerg force or enough unemployed people to sit at the computer all day and night.

Except for your trackers/FTErs, no one needs to poopsock in Class R.

Sucks for those 2-4 people, but hopefully you rotate who does those jobs.

I am sorry, I was just saying that if we are going to value each EQ person equally then larger guilds should get more mobs then smaller guilds....

Which is what seems to be happening.

The issue seems to be where the line to be fair is. Is it to be fair to all guilds or fair to all raiding players?

Honestly, I could give less than a shit. I haven't gotten a piece of loot since the 96 hour days. But I'm bored at work, lets keep it going.

The issue is is that the guilds get bigger and -less- people get loot. The loot keeps going to inner-circle players and there's a constant stream of apps and guild scrubs that come and go and never get dick for loot. Its funny because really these are the people that fill out the numbers in order to make it possible, and they are the ones being exploited.

Again, Wal*Mart

No, it is the guilds responsibility to not invite too many members that they don't need.

On the last VS attempt Asgard attempted the idea of logging in as the mob spawns. BDA had a ton of people already logged in ready to go as soon as someone yelled into their mic. By the time we were logged in and ran over VS had been engaged.

So the idea of not having to poop sock against a Zerg guild is absurd.
