BDA blows up rotation. BDA complains about results. Nothing to see here.

It was an FFA mob, but thanks for being dumb as always.

replace all raid spawns with completely random earthquakes that may or may not ever happen. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Some guilds would still sock there, but people would not feel obligations to HAVE to because they might be up in the next rotation.

People would do both, like usual.

Remove all raid mobs - install a vending machine in EC tunnel near Shady. Load all loot on that vending machine with varying prices based on rarity.

Also - allow purchases of lvl 60 toons for $799.99.

You know, BDA is less competent than a lot of guilds on the server, but what really makes you stand out is your inimitable inability to judge that incompetence. A kindergartner could connect the dots here: BDA blows up rotation, R guilds adapt to situation, everyone starts poopsocking more, BDA loses VS to Indignation, BDA tries to get it back with the next FFA mob. And yet not only do you utterly fail to grasp simple cause and effect, but you proudly flaunt your stupidity by calling out people who can.

VS FFA is a coin flip, so really has nothing to do with competence. All you need is 18ish people as long as you get FTE. Didn't see anyone talking about Indig, pretty sure we grats'd all around. We try almost every FFA mob that falls in a good window, had nothing to do with losing VS to Indignation.

That said, Rampage and BDA were the only ones that actually got a FTEr Cothed in time this morning - Kegulas beat our tank by milliseconds. That's all it takes. The other 5-6 raid entities there didn't even have a shot.

I also recall you saying A-team would compete and destroy everyone with small numbers in the new Class R ffa scene - it took you less than a month to merge your dying guild.

Any good ideas?

Best idea: Player rotation.

# of times I poopsocked anything prior to rotation blowing up: 0.

We had 1/3 rd of mobs not require any socking for a year, and the players decided to do away with it. They actively chose to bring back socking to that 1/3 rd of mobs so they can have a shot at getting a few more mobs.

I think now without the rotation many more guilds are actually trying FFA mobs compared to before. E.g. in a small guild, the amount of stuff from the rotation was plenty, and did not really need to do FFA. Now, since Class R is poopsocking, it makes much less difference to poopsock an FFA or an R mob compared to the difference between FFA and R before. The FFA mob just has more possible guilds, so lower odds, but doesn't lock you out of R mobs so it's often worth it.

Basically increased poopsocking in R and at FFA spawns is a direct result of the collapse of the rotation.
