As far as everything else, if there is no first to engage rule, camping will always rule supreme. I don't want to do it. I usually don't, but there are apparantly well over 100 people on this server that are okay with leaving their character in game for days at a time and not actually playing the god damn game.

Unless they have IP exemptions and they abuse them. Already reported 4 people doing that from multiple guilds...

Edit: Thats my opinion and I only speak for myself.

Man...that's defeatist. You know the server population can change the rules, Otto. You were there for it before. All it takes is coordinating it.

If the server outlaws camping raid mobs, then it's outlawed. Nilbog told us a long time ago it was up to us to determine the rules.

To echo Hogwash, if you're not clearing/raiding....gtfo.

Tibador and Allizia no longer play on p1999. So why are we allowing outdated thinking to dictate our raid rules?

I am the guild leader of Transcendence. The raid scene has changed alot and Transcendence has unloaded the troublemakers, drama queens and loot whores. We are back in raid mode to get work done.

I 100% support FTE. IF boss spawns and your crew is ready to engage then fucking engage. None of this shitbag sitting around waiting. Nagafen spawns..groups are formed, pets are out, resist gear on ..CHARGE! No different that if the frenzy in lower guk spawns or the derv camps in north ro.

Murphy's Law states that if the plan is too complex then it is usually a BAD idea. FTE is a simple plan.

I still think however we are cheating ourselves out of spawns!

For being in such an uber guild you seem like a newb here.

I am glad you think your opinion matters to me.

How about this..why do you not do something productive, balls up and not ride on the coattails of someone else...then come back here and try to talk shit.

How about you motivate your guild to kill gods/dragons instead of whinning about the raid rules.

Tigole would not like your leadership style.

What if I said my old guild beat LoS in content. Would you value my opinion?

When a boss spawns, it takes about 20-30mins to get ppl online, buffed, and mobs cleared before it is dead. Noone is waiting.

Ima school you all on proper statistics yet.

As you can see from my latest spreadsheet, there's an inverse relationship between the ratio of your perceived value of your opinion to your opinion's actual importance.

I've graphed the data in both linear and logarithmic scales, to edify the implications.

What does this mean for the average forumgoer? Well, statistically speaking, the bigger of an asshat you are, the greater the probability you look like a fool. It's an exponential trend, folks. I'm just sayin.

you, sir, won!!!!!

if you call 5 days waiting for it to pop "not waiting". I would love to see your definition of waiting. He's not talking about the 30 minute engagement rule, he's speaking about the previous 5 days of laying claim to it that's the problem

perhaps you dont kill raid bosses and have no experience in the matter... yes the thread says that and i have even asked a gm about it. but the point is ever since ive been raiding no mob has been outside the 24hr and 48hr windows. is this intended? no idea
