Rotation on Raid Targets ?

[logiktrip]

I would like to see a rotation at least attempted again, this time with more than two guilds involved in it. The only reason I believe it was ended when it did was because there were more guilds coming up to raid -- a pretty poor excuse. It was essentially a head-start on the racing, since those guilds had a gear and experience advantage over any others wanting to raid those targets. Now with the timers, these up and coming guilds get one shot -- if they're lucky. The original rotation guilds were not under such pressure.

It's worth a shot I believe, I don't think the previous rotation was given enough of a chance with more guilds.

I wouldn't mind leaving Maestro or Draco off of a rotation, to leave some FFA mobs to race for.

Basically rotation was just IB and Trans and it only lasted a short while. Divinity was ready to throw their hat in the ring shortly after it was started.
We killed Naggy to prove ourselves on 2/6/10, a day after the new raid rules involving rotation were posted on the forums.
Sadly this also happened to coincide with the kithicor GM event (2/14/10) which signaled the opening of Hate and the end of the rotation.

The rest is history. We're still standing tall though.

Wait, what I say wrong? I was there for the whole thing!
Hell it's even all in the forums just like I wrote it.
Hell man, I wasn't even saying anything bad. Your guild even congratulated us on the Naggy kill. /shrug

lol why are you apologizing?

I, for one, think a rotation is a grand idea that has never been considered before, ever. I like the duel for raid choice idea, but that's a little unbalanced by class disparities. Instead, we should find a neutral location and all meet there, and have a RL duel to the death. We can use a megaphone to announce the winners and losers (and flee-ers), and the winner of the RL duel gets first raid choice.

couldn't bind in planes, but you could send somebody up running MacroQuest to /tar the mob you're looking for from across the zone. Can't do that here.

Yes, we could. Wait for X guild to wipe or falter, and pick up their slack while they recover. Technically not a leapfrog, we never got punished for it anyway. GM's came out, and left. 3/5 times we continued killing what we were killing.

please... this is bs for the same reasons we could leapfrog and get away with it.

It's not bullshit. If a guild was clearing towards a mob, another guild couldn't just run by them without getting reported and having some type of GM intervention. At least on the servers I played on back in the day.

You really need to actually get lvl 50 here and raid. It's nothing like classic raiding here.

I remember binding in POF up on the North wall.
