Raiding in P1999 is nothing like raiding in classic.

^ tis true.

Would be 130 people+ in a zone sitting at a mob spawn with their duct tape ready.

Variance would be removed, if it didn't create giant poopsocks. You would be surprised how many of these people "with lives" would instantly become a "No lifer" if they could just park a character at a location and let server mechanics roll for a chance that their guild gets loot.

So?

you would be back here bitching about that instead of what you are now.

or you'd ask for the ability to camp it

then you'd bitch that guild's afk camp mobs for days

and so on.

You obviously don't know me or haven't read any of my posts.

I WANT you fuckers to poopsock if that's what classic rules result in and you can't work out any other way amongst yourselves (read: no gm intervention, players either poopsock and deal with FTE shout to award loot or come up with their own mechanisms within a classic ruleset to handle raid mobs).

Why would anyone care if someone afk camps a mob for days? Who does that hurt exactly? Raid mobs are not awarded based on who has been at their camp/sitting on their spawn point the longest. They are awarded via FTE. If someone wants to camp there for 6 days god bless them. When another guild shows up and snags FTE nobody is hurt by their time wasted but them.

At least the rules/server would be closer to classic.

Careful they'll tell you that you can't remember things from 13 years ago

uhhh, I don't think you read my question. I understand EQ is all about items...I said why keep doing it after you have said items?

[Spitty]

Part of being in a raiding guild is operating via the understanding that it's not just about you.

That's why you keep doing it - because your guildmate wants that BP just as badly as you wanted yours, and you have the capacity to help them get it.

You can be that guy that stops raiding once you're equipped out, if you don't mind being labeled a complete fucking douche.

Their definitely wasn't batphoning and Raid targets dropping within 5 min of spawning on my server. I think that's a product of being in Kunark so long that people are so damn geared. There were also plenty of PUGs that raided shit which could never happen here with how quickly targets are killed.

You had PUGs killing top tier contested content on your server? I call bullshit. Maybe in PoP people were pugging Trakanon or something.

Nag/Vox/Hate/Fear. This was happening while Kunark was still fairly new.
