My ideal raid scene

Yeah, why are you filthy casuals whining about instances? See above ^^^.

An example of how casuals DO get to have a chance at named raid mobs!

Why do you need instances when you have such glorious opportunities as a shot at statue! And Dain! AND Ikiatar!!

Some other bottom feeding raid guilds even managed to get some unworthy-to-mention Kunark things, AND Raev learned about Zlexak's ability to backstab for 2250!

To be honest, I can't imagine anything more rewarding than what raid guilds other than A/A are already getting.

Raev clearly portrays just how well-rewarded the entire raid scene is outside of A and A.

Stop whining.

there's no need to be sarcastic. i think it's just more obvious on this server than live that other guilds don't clear the same content at the same time.

for example in the "#4 raiding guild on our server (yeah whatever you want to call it)" we weren't raiding qvic the day it came out. in fact the top two guilds caer cadarn / triality were clearing the content months before we even attempted to do qvic. we took a while to even get flagged for KT and finally were able to clear Ikkinz, working our way up to qvic. then by the time new content would be out the top end raiding guilds would move on to that and we'd be doing the old content they did. We didn't notice it then because we felt like we were progressing, while here we're stuck at the end.

For this server new content isn't being published faster than the rate that we can consume it. There's also too many people that play on this server to even fit everyone in ToV. If you were there last night with 211ish people trying to kill in NK it was a disconnect disaster.

Yeah sure. No need to be sarcastic when his post was dripping with pure condescension. Give me a break. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

All that sarcasm just makes you look salty. I would never defend Project 1999's system of poopsocking raid mobs but yesterday everyone had an equal shot; if you didn't do well it is no one's fault but your own. If your goal is to do instanced content in your own little sandbox on your own time, I suggest you roll on Phinny which will allow you to do precisely that.

[Raev]

There was nothing condescending at all about my repop post. Your reading comprehension and/or knowledge of Velious loot pinatas is lacking. Dozekar, Dain, and Statue (AOW) are three of the best in the game.

got as far as the third paragraph of the original post before I stopped reading

OP, the EQ live progression servers are what you want, no need to raid here

[Rader]

I say instances, or make all raid zones PvP-enabled...

Back in the day, our server had ONE message board to run/schedule raids. And it was scheduled. If you were there without scheduling, you were out. Or, if the other group wanted, you could tag along.

I guess the real question is whether or not there's a lack of accessibility to the raid content or not? I don't know.
