How is the raiding handled on this server?

Is there 1 guuild clearing everything asap, multiple guilds fighting over everything or multiple guilds sharing everything?

It appears one is clearly ahead and most fight over mobs. I saw three jump at Cazic Thule, working to clear fear. In the end, one took him while one left all-together. The other couldn't drop him.

when the server is in Kunark or Velious, you should be able to do pick up raids. If your on a normal server and have 0 idea how to raid. Your more then likely going to whipe.

But on this server with the majority already having raided before, it might not be so bad. And if it is, im gonna FD for everything I got....

Isn't the whole point of raids uber loot? The guilds are competetive cause they want to monopolize that loot. Meaning they don't want to share it. Otherwise they'd lose their "uber gear" status and the whole point of their existence as a "Raid guild."

I never raided for loot... I raided to say I did it in EQ and in any games after. The issue is most kiddies are after "uber loot" and ruin all the games.

Beta raids were the shit. I had a blast organizing most of those and going at it. It was even more hilarious because I was terrible at boxing.

Pick up xp-groups are scary enough, this is horrifying.

Agreed. I can't handle pick up groups and pretty much refuse to take part in pickup groups. For the most part I refuse people who ask to duo with me at solo spots as well. Not because I am a dick, but because I don't feel like eating a death based purely on someone's stupidity.

He's a boss if you go at him with a typical raid set up of a melee tank + clerics and dps. However bring a couple mages and you have yourself a deceased fish.

I personally admit I like raid loot, I would never raid Tunare weekly with 8 hour clears just to say "I was there...I did it...again". Whats the incentive?

Personally I found the guys saying "I did it for the guild" usually the most self serving people.

I know a guy even on this server that spent over 50 hours farming stuff for his guild , was a first day member but had to roll against trial members for loot and eventually ignored and even forgotten.

The only reason I know is I kept asking about guilds on the server and his guild experience.

The purpose of loot is to progress to the next raid .. that is it. You are forced to repeatedly raid "tunare" so you can beat the next baddie... its called a time sink and without it there would never be enough content.

Korrowan, "The purpose of loot is to progress to the next raid" is not absolutely true. To some like me loot is a trophy, of an event a memory. I'm not thinking ahead to the next raid at all, to me I'm living in the moment.
