Lol, this isn't going to change anything.

I do like the FTE shout system, even if it isn't classic, at least here. It's a quick and simple way to see who tagged the mob first rather than Sirken and company having to give it a best guess.

Not every live server had a raid calendar. Further, those were created by players not GMs.

Congratulations on being part of the problem.

You don't have the slightest clue why anything happened here or happens here.

You don't understand that some things are up to the players and not the GMs.

I am hardly part of the problem. The FTE system was designed because of a problem.

I presume you'd rather Sirken had to be inches from his screen staring at the logs everytime a mob spawns? Brilliant!

I have a much better clue than you'd ever realize. You know nothing about basic raid enforcement considering you have this ridiculous belief that a GM will even have to watch a raid happen in a non-FTE environment. I've posted several times about this topic before and have posted numerous solutions, most of which actually happened on live, none of which have been debunked.

I'm sorry if your obsession with sticking to the status quo blinds you to considering alternatives, but you shouldn't try to drag everyone else down there with you.

Radditzu was right about you being a TMO cheerleader btw. It goes well beyond simple devils advocate. It looks as if you might be invested in such a stance actually.

Call tinfoil hat as you will, I'm only observing how you present yourself here.

The FTE shout settles disputes of who got FTE. That's why I like it, no other reason. It saves the staff time.

In fact, FE/IB winning a few recent Traks and VS where FTE shout helped make it clear it was theirs. It sorted out a ton of the usual conspiracy, bullshit and finger pointer. This makes me a TMO cheerleader. Got it.

I guess everything in my objective and personal opinion of things raises the "doesn't slander the top guild enough" flag for you.

You put people in one of 2 camps. The people who blindly slander the top guild or everyone else, where everyone else is a "top guild" cheerleader. Got it. Excuse me for being the narrow minded one.

I was cautioned against trying to have an intelligent discussion with you. I'm still not convinced your an idiot, just very narrow in objective which is hating on the most dedicated players on the server. Is that obsession healthy? Um no. Does responding to a batphone at nearly any of the day mean you have more time during the day to do it? Yes. Does it make you more dedicated? Well, you're dedicating more time..

People being more dedicated means more for them and less for you. And here's a news flash. TMO does take on new applicants and members. New members who need best in slot gear and that puts the current "easy raid mobs" that everyone else is capable of doing in their cross hairs.

Please flesh out a system that works for everyone and get it stickied. I'd love to objectively critique it. The current system is flawed, your system will be flawed, accept it.

Kagatob,

As I am responding in Rants n Flames in letter format today, I would like to respectfully request your assistance. Your epeen seems large and experienced, and while I haven't read any of your posts in this thread except this one, I can tell that you are wise in the way of Everquest and Project 1999.

We need YOUR help, Kagatob, yes YOU, as your post clearly indicates that you have a plan to alleviate the workload required on Sirken and myself when it comes to end game raiding, as well as increase the fun had by all on this server. Please provide a short, well thought out plan on how we can fix our woes here on Project 1999, and save us all from the P99 raid scene. Please do not include changes that would require extra coding, as our Development Team is already extremely busy.

Please list the following, so that we may evaluate your plan and assess its use here on Project 1999:

- A short list of your personal raid experience here on Project 1999, things you read on the forums do not count, unfortunately, as there is a large amount of misinformation posted here.

- What you would specifically change here on Project 1999 and why we would all benefit from these changes. Please be complete and concise.

- How these changes would affect us all in the long term, as well as how they should be implemented and enforced.

- A short description of why you are an expert on this topic. Keep in mind that this bullet point and the first bullet point are in no way related, and we expect them to be addressed individually.

- Please do not simply link posts you have made previously on this topic. To be taken seriously, we do require a new post.

Sirken and I look forward to hearing your response. I would like to personally express our gratitude for your contribution to this server and these forums, and thank you in advance for your miracle fixes that we so desperately need. I assure you that we hold your opinion and thoughts in the highest regard here on Project 1999, and take all of your posts seriously.

Sincerely,
Derubael

How is the raid scene so far this week?
It seems like the raid guilds are all tracking and also getting kills?
The agreement is working well?
Competition is there without all the petitions/shitstorm of TMO being involved?

[radditsu]

Fte shouts are a great way to clarify contested mobs. They were implemented because of bullshit. But as a raid function they are great. Prevent "accidents" with "friendly" competition
