Stop the Socking

That being the people who would represent Class R as a whole and need to sign off on this type of proposal...have never shown any interest in doing so.

TMO and IB both spoke to me about trying to get accessible raid engagement rules set in stone when this CoTH ducking crap started (this was back when I was on the R forums + an officer of BDA). Yes, the reason nothing got anywhere is because a few entities in R would rather see FFA be shit than do anything that is a net gain for TMO/IB (despite it being a net gain for everyone).

It was pretty sad honestly.

I have inside sources that tell me yes but I want to hear them answer.

Anything with rotation in it is bound to receive big no's from class C.

Even still:

Increasing Variance is about the worst thing you could do currently. All that does is benefit big guilds and remove small guilds.
Remove the rule about must allow 5min for new guild to try. That's just another layer of complexity not necessary.
Your plan doesn't address the most glaring issue, what happens to rotation if you don't get the kill? With 1-hour to engage rule that will guarantee most guilds not getting their kills especially on something like Trak or CT or Inny.
The 1-hour rule just changes the poopsock. To who tracks, sets a timer and waits 1hour to get FTE. Cause most Class R guilds wait longer than an hour to kill their targets, especially those that I mentioned before, that require trash clearing (or extremely non-classic trains)

Trying to force a rotation on Class C won't work, ever. Especially since Sirken and Derubael have their backs about how they want to see "competition".

Problem being competition is retarded on this server. Jav spam was retarded. CotHing is retarded. Foot racing is retarded too.

Only really competition on 32k HP dragons is on respawns where the guilds that move and coordinate fastest get the biggest reward. Which is why no respawns and simulated respawns (using C/R system and no bag limit on C merbs) and fully FFA repops (with no bag limit) would allow both factions of players to enjoy their play style and pixel attainment.

Everything is retarded except what you want. Got it. Will start drafting the new p99 rules.

Why is foot racing retarded exactly?

How is foot racing better than say CotHing?

The only redeeming quality it has, is that you have to *maybe* coordinate with your tracker on your movements for the 4 roaming dragons.

It still requires you sit at your computer staring at a start line for 16 hours while another person stares at another pixelated area for 16 hours and batphones when a pixel dragon appears.

With both CotHing and foot racing you have to maintain buffs and be at your desk the entire time waiting for a 16 hour spawn.

Don't see how foot racing or CotHing are any different in their competitiveness.
