Fighting dragons at ToV zonein

[Pumpedup]

there is a long term solution, 1 raiding guild

that way if anyone else tries to pull something just train them till they all die and quit

then they will join your guild ( thats how red99 has been since launch )

Hey, I already suggested this! No one wants to listen to reason though.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink!

Make one giant zerg raiding guild already!

Then you all can have your pixels and eat it too.

I thought it was, "You can lead them to the river but you can't drown them in it"

or was it, " Hey you kids get off my lawn & stop chasing that chicken across the road"

Seriously though: they have decent idea name it <The Raid> or <Raiders> *dibs on the royalties (tm)

The problem with this idea though is that the nerds who love to brag and feel superior to other nerds couldn't get off on withholding pixels from the weaker nerds.

This is the best part of being in the top poopsocking raid guild, you get to brag about how you got certain pixels while others did not, thanks to your ingenius methods of stopping the others from getting them first.

Hmm.. yea, I get ya. MMO Raiding does tend to bring out the worst in some.
Flip side this: Perhaps we could make a toll booth on some of their roads and charge them a nerd tax to get out of their houses to get more hot pockets or Doctor Pepper? Perhaps this is too close to 2 wrongs don't make a right tho...

I'm confused to how many want a "better" solution and how many like the status quo though.

it's how vp was for a long time. Tov would be fun to train in...I'm almost certain I would call off work on respawn days just to corpse camp a guild or a few folks in particular with some ancient wyverns ready to touch someone and mr. Frost guardian breaking their FD's.

no rules tov plz sirken then we can all move on. Only people from the old train wars on p99 are mostly rustle and aftermath. Could the class r from back then deal with it? I imagine waiting for an entire guild cr for 6+ hours would be interesting

[justinf1000]

Instanced raiding would solve everything!

Raiding in EQ is like being a lobster in a bucket.. You guys have the benefit of this being a 17 year old game and avoiding the shitshow that is racing/FTE and instead trying to work on some kind of "community" here, but I guess its too much entertainment to lawyer one another to death. The loot isn't going anywhere. Pulling to ToV entrance... Jesus. I'd DT every one of you if it were up to me. You guys really take advantage of the CSM's here, you get entirely too much of a say.

I wish I wrote crawdad on the ballot

This is called "casual gameplay" and is totally fine.

The alternative spectrum is called "hardcore gameplay" and is totally fine.

Neither way is the "right" way to play games. Condemning either simply because you prefer the other is incredibly stupid. Let people play the way they want to play, and don't let it effect you.

I don't let it affect me. Nor did I condemn anything. I was curious and asking questions about the raid scene here which has an over whelming populace wanting change due to numerous issues that anyone could find throughout this forum. At a first glance, your attitude is part of the problem, since you assume much and insult freely.

This statement could apply to a lot of things... Just saying.

^Well said & succinct.

I enjoy casual encounters with dragons and generally doing whatever I feel like in my limited playtime ^^ Not all peeps in top guilds are turds. In fact, I would say most are not. Of course I am pretty inexperienced with regard to guilds and may just be lucky ^^ I've fun at it too. LOTS of fun. But then again, I always do ^.~v

Yes, apparently you are fortunate to be a part of something when you do have the free time to sit down & play this game. That was one of my goals here, to find perhaps other like minded people. My schedule is pretty harsh at times so with no concrete time frames, it would be sporadic
