With no GM authority, these raid talks are worse than useless

The raid situation for those who were not involved prior to this announcement was a situation of repeated FTEs (where the FTE shouts added to discern FTE were nearly pointless)

stopped reading there.
FTE shouts have helped and are far from pointless aside from the stalker probe eye bug, I dunno where the hell you been raiding, so I am guessing you do not raid.
In that case than gtfo trying to GM authorize some raid rules or w.e the fuck your trying to do, as i said i stopped reading it when it was obvious troll/noob/non raider/never seen a FTE.

When I talk about FTE shout failings, I suppose I'm specifically referring to CT (and other DT'ing mobs, but mostly CT). CT especially as the DT is hella bugged atm. It seems like on that particular mob it's a damn lotto, the first 1-6 to engage may be the last message to appear depending on how many times he'll DT on engage.

In his particular case, first 15 / first to kill draco worked out quite well and was far less of a shitshow than what we have now.

Just an idea. Maybe a little bit of Big guild/little guild team up sky action. Sky doesn't get cleared completely often. Helping a little guild start to learn and get keys etc would be good for them. Then/or those smaller guilds could team up and ask for their own sky time. I like when people outside my guild get goodies. I hate seeing stuff rot.

Velious is big, I want those potential future group members to be the best they can when I'm grouped with them. I say this as a guy who solo's 95% of the time. You'd be suprised how many strangers I hunted up Seb keys for. I often have 1st names on only, I don't care who your guild is. Just don't be a dick and don't be greedy.

That said, BDA is an awesome family. They have truly given me my classic experience back and so much more. Love you my brothers and sisters. Rock on.

i dont think anyone is terribly against your ideas loraen, i just think the goal atm is to find a solution that addresses the current raid scene, not retooling the game to make an entirely new raid scene. simulated repops are awesome and everyone seems to love them, but obviously they are on the back burner while people puzzle our how to fix raiding every other day of the week.

I guess I just don't believe the current raid scene is fixable by the players, and I don't understand why repops are not on the table when Rogean has just demonstrated he can make them happen in 30 seconds of cut and pasted commands. Anyway, you sucked me back in, logging out of the forums for a while [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

True.

That said that week was particular in the sense that TMO was out of the game. We all know that with TMO back, the 2 hours rule would just mean a 50/50 split between FE/IB and TMO.

That's why another rule should be added. I vote that the first week of every month, all raid targets outside of VP should not be killed by FE/IB or TMO. Also all repops should be FTE only.

This is simple enough to not create any loopholes and be easy enough to manage for CSR. Just need for a tracker to take a screenshot with a /time and the track window open with the raid target appearing. If another guild kill it, can screenshot the engage with /time 2 hours later. So much better than fraps !

Just my opinion /shrug

Has nothing to do with the 2 hour system. Everything on there is from the rolling repop, aside from the Trak kill yesterday.

We also discussed any actions to take against the guild as a whole, taking into consideration other recent events such as another guild member recently banned for heavy RMT inolvement, and an officer recently suspended for ninja looting.

It is based on that information that we are raid suspending the guild for 2 weeks.

The same guild monopolizing raid content for 2 years that they might not even need anymore is ridiculous, just to block other guilds from the chance of gearing up to take on the same end game content.

You seem to have missed something if you think it was just because of 2 people duping.
