Awakened and Aftermath are still camping fear golems.

And I don't blame them one bit.

Server staff, this box is incredibly top-heavy. Why are respawns still so long? When the top two guilds on the box are still socking fear golems of all things, something's gotta be wrong. There's nothing else to do.

I agree with you, the server has become too top heavy. I only hope that if enough people complain, spawn times well be greatly reduced.

All that said, P99 is still the best server, there is just no end game for casuals or semi casuals.

Chardok aoe really helped with tho but with that a lot but with all it's faults p99 def is the best

Having a tracker in the zone is different than sitting on the spawn point.

Different sides of the same coin. With Chest on this. It's an escalation tactic necessary for casuals to compete with the hardcore batphoned zergs. Unfortunate, but necessary.

Nobody who sits around at a spawn point for 16 hours at a time is casual in any realistic sense of the term. Referring to themselves as such seems more akin to denial. I imagine they sit around because it gives them a slight edge versus people who have to take a short amount of time to log in.

There's a big difference between a concentrated guild effort for a few mobs in a particular zone and tracking / attempting every raid target in the world. Can you match the play styles to their respective category?

Much of that difference stems from the older, established guilds being full of people who have many level 60 alts to park around the world due to chardok AE. The newer folks on the raid scene don't have that luxury. People who have to mobilize won't beat people who have pre-parked characters so the former have to pick and choose what they go for. At any rate, I'm not calling them equal by any stretch--they're not--just that P99's some sort of bizarre environment where folks who're probably in the top 5% of hardcore on any other server regard themselves as casual here.

I mean yeah I agree. You allow poopsocking, a casual guild gets the odd mob / golem. You change it to zoneline / tracker only, those casual guilds are never going to step up and contest like a/a. As it is, casuals can get stuff that a/a won't put the effort in for. I like it.

Tie the spawns of contested raid mobs to a random trash mob in the zone (and only after it meets whatever internal timer it needs to meet first). Then you can't poopsock anything and everyone has to clear zones like they were designed. Problem solved(ish)!
