Ruining EQ

I posted before they should increase the loot of each boss to drop 4 or 5 pieces per kill, but the bosses should all be rooted in place and the adds should leash to the boss if not killed, therefore forcing the bosses to be killed in their lairs after clearing to them, as the devs intended. The idea should be to ensure you get the same amount of loot for the same amount of time put in, but you do it killing significantly fewer bosses. Bonus, you get rid of all the stupid giant trains that always end up resulting in players getting killed accidentally, and 90% of your raid staring at a wall while the pullers do all the work.

If that would get old real quick, what are we even doing playing EQ?

Holy shit this thread is great, especially Cecily completely melting down and showing her true nature. Priceless.

Only facts that matter - raid rules existed. A PUG breaks the rules. A PUG gets punished.

Doesnt even matter if it was accidental or on purpose. But continue to tell the judge "I was drunk driving, it's not my fault Lady N was using the crosswalk!". I'm sure it'll make sense the more you say it.

holy shit look at this melt, priceless.

Ths glory that would unfold if they removed the 2 fracker rule. You'd have 200 neckbeards huddled in Vulaks room during his window and they'd keep the 6 Drakes down, all while spam clicking Vulak's spawn point. Send out some DA runners to clear paths to Lords and Ladies as they spawn and single pull dragons back onto the bridge to kill them.

At least then the entrance may be safe.

I think the no camping out on bosses rule has to stay. The meta shouldn't be who has the best autofire macro and/or ping.

The tracker FTE rule would have barely made sense in Kunark let alone Velious.

It's the same rule, and it made plenty of sense during Kunark.

How would it have made sense? You can't even exp in a zone like Sebilis or KC while a boss is in window or your guild is permanently DQed when it pops? Even if you all zone out and join the raid starting at the zone line? What new player is going to intuitively understand this?

No, it was stupid. It was a hacked around way of solving a problem. The problem being that variance on a per-mob basis was a bad design idea from the outset, and there weren't programmatic ways of solving the issue.

The tracker rule and no camping on bosses aren't the same rule. You could have zero trackers allowed and force players back to the zone in upon repop. Tracking shouldn't even be a thing, as its equivalent to socking.

It is, literally, the same rule.

Guilds may not have any more than two representatives present at a raid spawn location.

via raid.php

GMs have just further clarified this rule to expand what a raid spawn location is to basically everything except the zoneline. Through Rogean's clarification, and suspensions to BDA and Lord Bob

I'm saying you can have a 'no camping on bosses' rule and not allow trackers. Is that hard to understand?

Regardless none of this would exist with variance eliminated in place of quakes & automated succor. No reason not to, aside from the minor disruption to players in the zone. But with advance warning I don't see it as a big deal. Most players on quake are going to be doing something other than exping even in a casual guild.
