Well, that one guild that tried to get fay from that other guild proved that competition is alive and well.

Indeed. Competition was not outlawed. An agreement was made between several raid guilds, and one opted out in favor of competition. Which is fine.

well this was a shame one of my best nights in eq for years killing severilous to be taken away so quickly [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The way I understood it is that a rotation wasn't part of the agreement because the staff still wants to encourage competition. I thought the "draft rotation" system was initiated by BDA on an opt-in basis.

possibly.

there were plenty of things right with it an plenty of things wrong with it.

I don't think however it is good to make any other assumption past the staff wanting an agreement that is fair to all and that what everyone can agree to though. That basically didn't happen. So here we are again [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What do you mean by "free?"

I mean mobs handed to guilds that can't or won't compete. If a lot of the guilds were not satisfied with the recent rulings, it is probably due to the lack of free mobs being tossed their way. Does T2 need all of the mobs outside of VP to be happy?

I feel like AG competed yesterday. Dolj beat us to our first target and wiped. Then raced us to our second target.

Was that not competition? Felt like it to me.

Completely agree.

When competition is thrown out, everyone has a different opinion on how the raid scene should be managed. The better your guild is, the more competition it will want. The worse your guild is, the more instance/rotated that your guild will want. Everyone else falls somewhere in between.

[Byrjun]

The way I see it is that you have guilds like Doljo that want to compete and will never agree to something like a rotation. Then you have guilds like BDA that don't want competition and will only agree to a rotation. I'm not saying either is wrong (everyone is entitled to play the game the way they like) but the problem is that it's absolutely impossible to please both of these polar opposite preferences. Someone will have to give, I'm not sure if Rogean will allow guilds to filibuster the server's raid scene forever.

Fake female who's spent 3 years farming Lguk not happy with generous allotment of free raid mobs.
