This isn't a duo/trio event like Ragefire. Even 2-3 groups can easily wipe without a clean lair pull/clear.

If we hadn't seen 300+ Traks by now, I could see people wanting the BPs still. The two-three groups farming fake Trak would be better off doing plate cycle/Arena/WToV/HoT if they want armor upgrades.

Guilds farming fake Trak for guts to sell on MQ? We'll see.

This. If fake trak had teeth would be one thing, but Trak BP's? Let players sort it out first. This may very well be a non-issue. I remember on live, fake trak was something a guild would do for a guild bard, and there was no hassle, it was a "slow night" kind of thing to do.

I think this will probably be the case eventually. Probably like Phinny. Yeah he's up a lot now, but he died twice a day for how many years?

But for several months, guilds with CoTH plants already set and capable of camping a raid force at Seb IZ will farm it. Why not? It costs them nothing to break off of what they're doing and take a free trak BP. Charging clickies is expensive, an extra 5 Kunark BPS a and bard epic MQs a week can go a long way toward funding that.

I know guilds defray some costs of recharging items + reagents, but I also know that guilds also require that their raiders get a brain moran and manage to keep enough bank to buy their own supplies.

Farming Trak bp's would def be on the "wow we got nothing to do" list. Could make more money mq'ing velious armor pieces at this point.

What Trak BPs are even worth anything these days? 20-40k split among 2-3 groups doesn't seem worth it.

Dear Devs, we won't need this on red as we don't have to hold hands and stand by a campfire waiting for dragons.

Thank you.

thats because theres nobody to compete with you to kill them so you can pick whenever you feel like to do them

Are there really enough bard alts that one trak guts won't be enough. Most people stop their bard alts at 50 once they can't AE kite anymore. I doubt all of these alts will be willing to invest in white dragon scales.

fake trak will likely be a drunken raiding night target. good. we need to sparkle party.

specific boss rules should only be created as a last resort imo

if any guild does decide to farm UDB trak to the detriment of bards waiting in need, then I hope the whole server joins in ruining them. it would be a total dick move.

I hope the same is said about guilds trying to farm VSR just to sell.
