Root dragons and turn off CoH. If GM intervention has to happen, force roll-offs, temporary ban them from the zone, or just despawn targets when people can't play nice. Either figure out how to be competitive without headaches or burn the zone to the ground until you learn how. The coddling of top-end raiding on this server blows my mind.

Just make COTH not work in any raid zone.

Remove all these dam raid rules. go back to the days where most damage would win the mo.

Remove the stability of the zone to many people in one zone let it crash and when GM /dev have time/ feel like then they can restart zone minus the raid boss/ bosses.

Just my 2 cents

oh yea i never plan to raid here. from everything i have seen over the years it does not look like fun .

This has to be one of the dumbest posts I've read.
To top it off, your last sentence.

I hate to say it, but none of these ideas will probably change much, the more dedicated that can devote the most time will get the most loot, especially when most of these people are all in the same guild. Really we should be recruiting and strengthening our position to compete. This said I think it would be cool if a guild killed a ToV dragon the previous week, that the following week they wouldn’t FTE a Kunark dragon upon spawn for 5 minutes. This way smaller guilds could get a healthy shot at warrior/bard epics and VP keys. I almost guarantee big guilds would still get their fill of sev/gore/trak and us smaller guild would have no excuse when we don’t. Be really cool for some more guilds to be able to compete in VP.

Disabling COTH in (certain)raid zones and rooting mobs solves so much in one go it's amazing.

- No more trains to zone line
- No more cheezy tactics
- People actually have to try for once rather than 2% do 98% of the work and the others login to click a few buttons, loot for their alts that they'll never play, update the wikipedia to add their name to an already cringey list of people whom possess an item, then log off


For the people complaining that it would not be classic, let me introduce you to a server called Project 1999 where things are already massively not classic.

90% of every downed raid target on this server was done because of some unclassic mechanics or server situation like Kunark being around for too long. The majority of you were nobody and nothing on the original servers. Get over yourselves trying to hang onto your control of the elf simulator that you fail at without a helping hand.

Hey guys,

Interesting feedback here. Our plan with the changes in Today's patch had been made for some time (and worked on for several weeks to implement. There were a LOT of other mechanical changes in addition to just the permarooting).

Obviously we want to put that work to use and see how things go, so let's give it a shot and see what happens.

Rog
