I like the idea of tokens. It should be a grind like getting keyed in later expansions. Turn in 1000000000000000000000001 gnoll ears to NPC X to receive a token to spawn raid mob [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You kid but exactly the idea.

Would be nice so 1 guild doesnt take all the endgame dragons
Cause after all most of us are here to experience things we didnt get to on live right?

or a rotation on trak to start

Would you say that classic was perfect?

I would say it's as close to perfect any MMO has ever been IMO.

Tokens / triggers are nice


but i doubt the devs have the willingness / ability to add something like that to the game.


and like every game mechanic.. is open for abuse... whats to stop a guild in which each member has 3 or 4 alts / bought accounts (with plat!!) from making 4 or more different guilds to just power farm stuff to RMT or sell.


I do like the idea because it would give guilds a chance to get smashed by dragons for fun without having to poopsock / zerg stuff. I just don't see it being realistically added as they can't even bring themselves to do simple fixes to end game that would make GM's / guides job easier.


Like some sort of FTE announcement for raid targets to prevent 2 or more guilds zerging a dragon in the hopes that they had FTE.

then wait on a guide to show up.. and more likely than not have them not do anything about loot even if the guild without FTE looted.

You want to kill dragons without effort?

Go play Skyrim.

Or be like this guy and join TMO! You joined after the war was over, you have no room to talk and should see yourself to the door now.

All right, fine.

/em walks out the door, surrounded by pretty, floating, blue musical notes.


More seriously, are you really going to blame me for not being on the server back when there was a war between the raiding guilds? Most of the time you trolly folk are excited to point out how I play too much, but now you're going to blame me for not playing enough! And are you really going to blame me for picking the winning side when I did get here? Of course I joined the best guild on the server, and why I did so had already been explained to other mad, epicless bards on the forums before.

And more importantly, these people probably aren't talking about how they want to avoid raid-guild wars. They're talking about how they want to be able to kill dragons on their own schedules without anyone else showing up to take their merbs. AKA they want Skyrim/instances/whatever. Hence my original comment.

Who earned that for you, and how much time have you spent on poop mountain?

This would be ideal for the casual players who came to this server to see content they never got to see on live, but have careers and families now that they can't devote their time to poopsocking mobs.

The majority of the population isn't TMO. TMO is the only guild with the player base that actually wants to spend their entire day raiding or poopsocking, which makes the raid scene practically unplayable for any other guild.

How is it fair that one guild gets to set the terms for content access in a game?

The server wasn't created to enable casual players to kill raid mobs that they didn't see in classic. It was created to recreate a classic experience. And there certainly wasn't much killing of raid mobs in classic just because you thought it would be fun to go do it once, as far as I can remember.
