Vyal, do you know what a 'desync party' is?

I has no idea what it is.. Sounds like some form of cheating/exploit a guild would use to make people LD.

It's what happened at CT whenever he went late window :P But yeah...It's a good thing! If the players get tired of desyncing then perhaps they'll come to an agreement of their own. If not, well, they get the server stability they deserve =D

TMO are not the only ones defending limited variance. I have never proposed less than +/- 4hrs personally, and Europa loves limited variance so mobs aren't ALWAYS on USA times. International players (I am not) of all guilds advocate for limited variance, just not +/-48hrs with the anti-sock code on the end.

You are all looking at the situation and making it more complicated though.

How about instead of having a 3 day mob with +/- 48 hours so it will randomly go around random times you have a mob with a 2 day, 23 hour spawn, so it works it's way around the clock every other month?

Classic tracking of a mob isn't about having someone paid DKP to sit in a zone all day every day. Classic tracking of a mob involves a spreadsheet and a note on your raid calander to show up if you don't have other plans that day/hour. If it's a mob of extreme importance then you show up early and sit in force like they did back in the day.

The obvious answer here is just to reroll on Red

Well it’s about that time little birds.

Sadly since no agreement was reached, and since no talks are currently in place, I am raid suspending all guilds, and all players, from ALL raid targets and ALL raid zones.

Until further notice anyone who touches a raid mob (VP Dragons, Trak, VS, CT, Draco, Inny, Maestro, Gore, Fay, Tal, Sev, Noble, OoA, Naggy, Vox, Phinny, Ragefire, Planar Trash, or anything else I forgot) or enters into Plane of Sky, Plane of Hate, Plane of Fear, or Veeshan’s Peak, will be banned until the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, until the seas go dry and the mountains blow in the wind like leaves. Only Then you shall return and continue playing should you break these rules.

This has got to be the best fucking thing I have heard come out of P99 in a long time. It actually made me log in and chat with some people to find out some funny information. TMO,Raid,bans,rmt . . .it seems like a FULL strawberry Douche injection to a bunch of Vagina's or buttholes up in here, pardon me if I touch myself in pleasure.

Fte is fine as a mechanic. The abuse of fte by a raid to grief others is not ok. The problem is that a "pull" of a mob can be easily construed as a "grief". Die to trying to grab a charm, or flopping a trak to get him to banish. Some assholes DO grief the engage. I hate that it is an end all be all solution previously. However it is not feasible to debate and weigh every pulled mob in the world.

A solution (requires a dev so useless idea) tie in a zone /who server side when the fte shout hits. If engage less than 6( or 12) automatically give the mob loot to the 2nd guild on the aggro list.
