We all knew it was coming. Ride the unclassically long variance to lock down every raid mob for 2 years utilizing the biggest neckbeards on the server. Then complain that 1/3 of the mob respawns outside of VP is too much to 'give away'.

I know, I am showing how easy it is to reframe things and give false impressions

VP becoming FFA on repops would add a wrinkle of FUN

if class C is honestly scared about Class R taking VP pixels.....

Yea but the thing is vp is meant to make a guild choose between c or r.

It's just funny to me at this point. I have less time to play right now so it's not impacting me in a big way. However, if the guilds that put in effort for FFA spawns outside of VP knew that for the most part they put in more effort than goes into VP kills (CotH ducking) they would already be in VP. Because once they spend a month in there and figure out the tactics they will get kills in there. They rather kill themselves for FFA mobs though.

the only competition that eq has ever had is the internal competition that each player has with him/herself to be able to show up to a raid and hopefully not suck.

sadly, probably 75% of players lose this battle consistently

this is why a successful raid team (especially in Kunark 32k zerg fest) only needs a really good raid leader/puller and 1 really good tank, and a couple decent healers. Along with 30-40 other people that understand how to turn on auto attack, or click a spell gem.

sad truth is if you have 10-12 people that are outstanding in a raid of 40-50 players you can beat anything in the game without breaking a sweat.

the best guilds have a higher ratio of intelligent capable players : warm bodies that just show up and turn on auto attack. But even still there's no competition outside of whether or not each individual will perform at their highest level.

If velious is coded correctly when it launches I find it hard to believe anyone will be able to lock it down, NToV alone was a multi-day raid for the best of the best guilds back in 2000 or 2001 whenever Velious came out. Even with the added experience that players have presently it will still be several hours of clearing to be able to clean that out.

It's never gonna happen, and it shouldn't happen.

well the system is set up awfully then....

the way VP is now is solely because thats the only way TMO/IB would fall on the grenade that is these raid changes, they keep their playground

it has nothing to do with server health, growth or the populations enjoyment of the game/raiding scene....Choosing you are Class C or R as Chest always points out, is about playstyle, its not about the mindset of 'I want to experience this game + or - VP"

Want vp mobs? Move up in raid class. Easy solution. Anything else won't happen. I have my faith in Sirken, Deru and Rogean about this.
