Do you think it's at all okay to play this server, for years, for free - and then once "done" - recruit for another server on these forums?

Do you have so little respect for Rog, Bog, and the Sirkdawg?

Not classy
I'd likely still be playing on the server if they didn't allow the raid scene to become such a festering pile of shit. It would take such little effort to DRASTICALLY improve it and they refuse to do anything to fix it. Pretty much every single person that is or has ever been involved in endgame raiding knows how broken the system is and year after year nothing really gets changed. They once had my respect but they kinda lost it tbh. Sorry not sorry.

Still not sure which guild shit all over the raid scene and RMT'd off the server. Are u ever gonna give us the answer or just keep dodging? My hunch is you're talking about TMO or Rampage but I haven't quite figured it out yet.

Are the rest of you BDA people on board with this?

I think the list of people that DON'T agree with that would be shorter. I could be wrong though /shrug

Let them speak for themselves. I've joked around a lot with you guys but I think (most of) BDA is better than that.

What could be done so easily to dramatically improve raid scene?

p99 raid scene is irreparably fucked, there's no fixing it at this point without massive intervention from the staff and the toxic entities at the top that can't play nice

Anichek could fix it. Someone should give him the keys to the castle.

This has been discussed over and over again in countless threads on these forums over the years. Different people have different opinions but the most popular options that I saw and personally agree with was to automate the earthquakes that Rogean does every so often. Ask any raider on P99 and they'll tell you that earthquakes are the most fun. Every guild gets a shot at relevant content cause the top 2 guilds can't lock down every important target at the same time. Despite TONS of requests in thread after thread to my knowledge Rogean has never acknowledged this request one way or another. At one point in time we were promised I think 1-2 earthquakes per month? I forget the exact numbers. When's the last earthquake P99 has had? Would you say you're getting anywhere near even 1 per month? How hard do you think it'd be for Rogean to automate an earthquake once or twice a month?

Another thing that a LOT of people were/are in favor of is reducing variance. Another super easy fix that would eliminate 16 hr tracking windows which is one of the biggest barriers to entry for the smaller/casual raiding guilds. NOBODY wants to screenshare track and stare at a wall waiting for a mob to pop for 16 hours at a time. There's only a handful of people on the entire server willing to do it and they're all clustered in the top 2 (maybe 3?) guilds. If windows were 2 or 4 or even 8 hours long it would drastically improve other guilds willingness to participate and actually contest raid targets. If windows were 4 hours I'm willing to bet BDA would still be on P99 right now. Everyone got burned out trying to track multiple 16 hr windows every week and who can honestly blame them? Even 4 hours is longer than I want to spend staring at a wall waiting for a dragon to spawn to be quite honest.

There's a lot of other routes the P99 staff could take to remedy the situation but they've demonstrated time and time again that they aren't interested in fixing it.

It's definitely fixable but yes it would absolutely require staff intervention. It doesn't seem to me that they're interested in fixing it though. Anybody remember the "guild summit" and all the fixes that resulted from that? Oh wait...
