Lock Server Until an Agreement is Met

[Yinikren]

Work on stuff, brother! A few weeks without mobs and I am sure people will become much more agreeable to a fair (to all, not 2, 3, 4 guilds) solution.

This is the dumbest fucking shit. Why compromise the whole server due to high-end babby drama? Seriously unprofessional and petty. Who the fuck cares about raid content that's been out for 2~years. Jesus christ I just wanna level my ogre female warrior fuck

[Halfelfbard]

When i get my bard back...ill help u lvl that Female ogre war. It will b glorious!

My View...As a bard.

I went threw 2 computer chairs raiding. Twisting for countless DAYS of time combined...prob a month or more straight just twisting in a sock, or jus waiting for the right time to strike.

Everquest isn't a EZ game, its Time = Reward. U ever train fear for 4 hours straight? Didn't think so.

But, i do believe in fair play...when TMO is in chill mode, i go help other guilds raid. I mean y the hell not?! I was glad to be a guest in some of there raids, I mean shit...keep shit the same, just do be hogs. Mob hogging Scum.

Just wanted to reply to a couple of questions:
A few people have asked why if people want pixels they don't just compete for them?

My answer to this is that I used to but competitive raiding on this server is a cancer which is one of the primary reasons the GM's are attempted to force a compromise. If raiding involved simply logging on multiple chars or clearing to/engaging a target then sure, I would still do it. But it doesn't. It involves logging on and being abused by multiple members of an opposing raiding guild, then getting "accidentally" trained over and over, then getting FTE sniped. It's all bullshit and against the rules and as I understand it's the primary reason BDA doesn't "compete" as you like to call it.

The second isn't a questions but rather a clarification. A lot of the hardcores here like to throw around the stat "we offered you a 20/10 split but you want a 50/50 and we're unwilling to go that far". It's not really a 20/10 split when 20% of the population are getting 67% of the loot. It's also not a 50/50 split when 20% of the population are getting 50% of the loot, so saying that the divinity proposal isn't advantageous to FE/IB/TMO is a bit of a misinterpretation.

With all of these stats being thrown around there's one question I would like to ask: Which raid guild(s) have submitted the most raid petitions in the past year? Aren't they the ones that have driven the GM's to force a compromise as this is viewed as a waste of their time which could be better spent on fun GM events, catching cheaters or even Velious development?

Ppl focusing alot on just this rotation vs competition thing atm. Enforcing PnP ideas should also be a priority, like stupid FTE shenanigans, marathon mob pulls, obnoxious leapfrogging, putting a sock on the global channel trolls, the "individual actions" where some derp trains the other raid but the guild he belongs in takes no responsibility for it, etc. The fetmoib thing despite being kinda silly in that it was made with no participation from the rest of the server had at least some decent ideas, ie cutting down DA stalling.

Guild council still best idea by far, the worst part of the raidscene has been the status quo where guilds do dumb things, call each other assholes in shout, and then petition so GM can come referee it and the guilds never have to talk to each other. Not having to communicate with the competition builds disrespect and spite for one another, and leads to the nonsense we've had for ages.

ILU Brut. not bazu though. bazu sucks.

[sedrie.bellamie]

I heard the guilds that probably can't kill raid mobs are upset they are not given raid mobs to kill

[Aaron]

You guys argued about pixel distribution on New Years Eve?

Nice.

You need to consider how top heavy this server is with 60's. I know people in the high end raid guilds with alts sprinkled to the lower guilds that raid on their sky nights. I believe a list needs to be made to identify one primary raid toon you can raid with and not your alts. The staff needs to compile a list and anyone raiding out side their main without swapping names on the list gets banned from raiding. Th would alleviate some congestion and reduce the poopsocking alt armies.

p99 casual's and Mac'ers only please.

What about whats fair to euros no one gives a fuck about them!

TBH the majority of the server doesnt and wont even raid. So im not even sure what this all has to do with the majority of the server.

If it is majority rules you should just ban anyone who has more then 100hrs vested in an account because that of not the kind of behaviors that you want to see on p99!

Why dont GM staff add incentives to something rather then just challenge end game guilds with threats.

I dont understand this hands off approach they claim but then come in threatening gloom and doom when all their demands are not met, which im not even sure what all their demands are even!
