Scout's an absolute joke. So let's change the "rules"

[aaezil]

You do realize everyone at lodi + most variance spawns use third party programs/hardware for FTE, right? If staff were gonna ban for that you think they would have by now

[Harshmallow]

I would think a level 52 minimum would alleviate concerns of Nagy / Vox toons... I don't have one nor likely will. My main issue with lower levels being able to show up and roll is the impact to the wrist economy. Devalues all other options. Just my opinion though! Don't much care.

[AbstractVision]

I think the winner of the roll should be able to do whatever they want with their loot. Sell it, trade it, give it to a friend or guildie, collect multiple talismans cause you are a boss like that, whatever..

[Baler]

main only level 60 With at least 1 BIS already.

Only these people should be winning these rolls.

not a level 45 alt who won't play in a month.

FTE was classic.

It was actually just about the only rule involving mob ownership. It wasn't called FTE at the time but generally whoever tagged a mob first owns that mob including where that mob goes such as training / griefing.
What's not classic is having only one engagement per guild at any given time, camping and the zone line races.

Camping was a player created concept that was never upheld by GMs on live and the other rules are obviously put in place to make a single server option more bearable since a single zerg guild would otherwise dominate.

To my knowledge, none of these were player made agreements. They're Dev enforced rules that are not classic.

There are many coded examples that are not classic either. One in particular that has been address before yet I still find somewhat potent is the Endurance stat not working.

Either way non-classic changes both rules and code are made for a better overall experience and scout is something more than half the server likely takes part in. I don't agree with OP's solutions. I feel a simple level cap should be coded so scout Ignores players not of that level. Planar zones work this way and most Guild raids work this way.
Creating a level cap will lower the number of people who roll on Scout naturally by weeding out players who are not actually invested in the characters they're rolling with.

I don't mean at the same time and that should be obvious.
I mean Scout is something likely half the server population has taken part in at some point or still does takes part.

It's not a simple thing that affects 40 people out of 1200. It affects many people who play this game and should not be trivialized. Just because someone has their VP key doesn't mean rules on camping Pained Soul should not be strictly enforced or revised based on future conflicts.

That's kinda what's wrong with Scout roll. It's a selfish roll. In by that I mean people engaged in it only care how it affects them and not other players. Once they're done they don't care anymore either. That's why players have started bringing lvl 30's and 40's to the roll. They don't care how it affects others. They just want their pixels.

Sometimes rules need to be revised, ie Fear Golems.
