The server staff is very short staffed and they do a remarkable job with P99 despite their lack of human resources. I am grateful that this game is free (which is why I play) and that I can log into Norrath with friends and adventure and kill mobs whenever I want. We can blame a small population of this server which has become the hegemony that has completely fucking ruined the "fun" of this game. 5 years of one expansion plus players with online videogame addiction and running RMT AOE rackets is a recipe for disaster. The top end population of this server has exploded and it has created tons of "raid" guilds with countless AOE powerleveled alts. They all "follow the leader" and the precedent that has been set in order to "raid" and "be a guild member" has gone completely off the tracks and it is an absolute train wreck. TL[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]R this server fucking sucks thanks to a very small percentage of online video game addicts that really have been fucking up this server for years. Very few of us acknowledged this early, most of us came to the server too late to even realize what has happened. I have had many personal interactions with all the "top dog" players on this server and have personally told many of them to go fuck themselves. Once you free yourself from the pixel shackles you will see. Until then have fun jumping through flaming hoops for a bunch of assholes just go get pixels that don't even fucking matter. | |||

On live, where most servers had either a rotation or a "first in force" atmosphere (if not a rule), guilds that had designs on killing a target rarely had to worry about another guild running past them to engage it while they killed trash. In your scenario on P99, you CoTH your raid to the target and pull the trash or two around the boss. The moment the trash aggros you, another guild will tag the boss and run away with it. On P99, guilds can't kill trash, they have to train it away, kite it, or just deal with it while they kill the boss. It got this way because 200 people would sit on target spawns and insta-gib targets. The staff, correctly I think, didn't like this. So they made a rule that you couldn't be past IZ when a target spawns or you'd be DQ'd from engaging the mob. The guild that gets aggro first gets the mob, which seems like a logical idea, but it creates a system where no one wants to kill trash because the second the boss is alone, another guild will tag it. Personally, I think raid targets should be treated like literally every other static spawn in the game. They're just big camps. You have to have a force there strong enough to kill the target, and as long as you have that force there, no one else can come in and take your mob. Both take staff intervention to enforce, and switching to FIF would have some growing pains of course. The difference is, with FIF, the target is claimed in a peaceful train-free IZ, rather than people frapsing trash trains and fighting about who trained who and whether a pull is a train or whatever. | |||

Did you just go straight grammar cop while dropping in an "understands the conception" ?
Sigh.
