Shocking leaked image shows spirit of compromise on p99 in A/A's absence!

[Pan]

For all the noise in this thread, it really isn't our battle.

The owners of the server have created an ecosystem...and the outcomes of that ecosystem have been pretty consistent over time. I think, whether they know it or not, they have the culture (with the attendant distribution of resources) that they want.

Their server, their rules, their outcomes.

If we've learned anything from this one, anomalous weekend, it is that some on the server would prefer to play in a way that's not consistent with the long term, historical outcomes we've seen on p99.

That's not up to us, though. History here shows that because of the way that the rules are written and enforced, if the AAs were to poof tomorrow, those niches would be filled by others. That's how systems work (resource availability).

The problem, if it is a problem, is the way the ecosystem is constructed and governed. And at the end of it all, it's for the owners to decide whether the problem that some see is a problem at all. And history says (apart from the TMO-monopolization BOOM) there's no problem at all in their minds.

That said, I had a great time this weekend. If it were up to me, we'd see stuff like this more often. Not my server, tho - it's not up to me. The only choice, really, that I have is if I log in or not. Their world, their rules.

I would say their server, their rules, our outcomes. People should play the game the way they want to. If they have certain objectives they should strive for those as well?

You're in their world now.

Dragons are left up constantly- the issue is, they are not the "right" ones.

Leaving things up happens each cycle of spawns, its called prioitizing

I dont think people realize how poweful locked encounters are when it comes to distributing

Why don't we pick four targets and A/A makes a commitment to not go for them? But we have done this, it just isn't enough mobs for your liking, or it is not the correct mobs. On a regular basis, mobs are left up in ToV. They just happen to be mobs like Sevalak, Ikatair, Gozzrem, or Telk.. Maybe Lendi and Jorlleag some weeks as well. Also, rarely will you see A/A go for Wuoshi or Velketor.

Instead of taking the mobs that are left up, you argue for the top tier mobs.

So if someone on p99 isn't in A/A when do they get to kill non-trash content? When they croot, contest, and git gud? Or when A/A eats simultaneous suspensions at the whim of a fickle and inconsistent GM?

Actually where's autistic Raev to do the math on this? What are the odds of someone getting a specific Vulak drop when they aren't in A/A factoring in the number of Vulaks they'll see (one or two out of how many Vulaks have spawned to date) the number of people that kill the dragon (100+) your guild getting the proper pick (first pick out of 3 guilds cooperating?) the item you want actually dropping, and if all those stars align getting awarded that drop

When they rip A/As hands outta the cookie jar and stuff their own hand in! （＾ν＾）

When they race for non-trash content or when there is a full server spawn. Nothing is stopping them except their motivation to do so.

So CSG can totally kill Vulak on a repop and the only thing stopping them is "motivation"

Okie doke
