i wasnt objecting to waiting 5 cycles, i would object to waiting 8, just because you think you are superior.

after those 5...the guilds that those 5 belong to should go to the BOTTOM of the rotation automatically, they've already got alot of epics and are probably working on alts already.

should be a roll between those major guilds that arent represented by the 5 poopsockers to determine start of rotation, but i'd settle for a roll with IB/TMO/VD/Taken/Divinity/BDA to determine the order, and all other interested guilds right after that in the order they post.

my opinion

He asked me what my prob with Rogean was, so there you go! :P

Lottery!! Start a lottery with every cleric able and willing to finish. When it pops amelinda randomly picks a number and then that person gets it. Or just keep up with the waste of everyones time. . .maybe if the lottery was even done early so people knew who was getting it next others could offer plat or shit for that guys golden ticket. . Maybe just MAYBE everyone poopsocking would actually be able to spend time with their FAMILIES.

W/E works right? Lol unless this is a ploy by staff to get everyone to get along.

Tiered Seeded Partial Draft Rotation is the best way to go. I spent a solid month doing research on it over a year ago. It appeases all angles (ie there's still a thrill of the chase, not every mob goes on rotation, mobs don't get locked down, it keeps the top at the top but doesn't exclude those at the bottom, it cuts down on poopsocking, cuts down on drama, cuts down on all the negative).

1) Guilds are in Tiers based on Playstyle and/or Ability
2) Guilds are "seeded" much like the NFL draft.....the draft order changes every week to ensure a true rotation.
3) Partial meaning not every mob goes on Rotation therefore plenty of FFA targets left.
4) Draft - Do so in Rounds, with Round 1 being Tier 1 Guilds only....Round 2 being Tier 1 and 2 Guilds Only, etc.
5) Rotation - mobs/zones can't be chosen in the same round until it has been selected in all rounds. So if Trak is chosen in Round 1, it can't be chosen in round 1 until it has been chosen in Rounds 2 and 3 (this opens up content to other guilds, but since Top Guilds get more selections per week, it doesn't mean they couldn't feasibly get Trak 2 or 3 weeks in a row depending on other Guilds' selections).

Complicated to get started - but covers anything and everything (not just Rage).

*If anything comes from VD in any aspect of a deal outside of what our clerics want it'll come from Coldblooded. So any VD tags in this thread or members is just throwing stuff out there*

I'd like to hear more of Skope's insights into variance and how it pertains to this server. Because mentioning it in every fucking post you make just isn't enough.

Drav, it's followed by posts of "unable to kill trak" or "partake in the poopsock." Ragefire isn't the issue here, it's just where you guys care about the most atm so it's getting the most attention. The same applies to vox, VS, inny, CT, etc. Unless you dump those worthless massive variances you're not fixing the problem. Three guilds came to an agreement about only ragefire and spoke with nobody else then decided to throw it up on the forums. Well done, now how about the rest? Also, the variances don't work. If you want proof take a look at just how many attempts other guilds have gotten in on naggy recently, or VS or just ask them: they won't do it because they don't feel they have to. If you truly wanted competition and to race to targets against other guilds than embrace something like a once-a-week pop with a variance that accounts for timezones but all pops at the same time. The guilds will still tier depending on what they can take and handle rather than how many of them don't have jobs. Currently you're competing against 2 other guilds because the majority of the population has decided you're retarded and you're pounding your chest about how great you are. You are. If these are the rules and will remain the rules then you can keep pounding your chest, nobody here is impressed.
