There is not 1 fight in velious that requires 90-110 . But I am glad to see empire is starting to kick people out . Maybe things will change in 6 months

ya, if every single player is a hypernerd warrior, cleric, or rogue and all buffs + slow + tash + etc are camped over by rogue players with solid states (not classic) you could clear velious with lower numbers, but its still not time efficient compared to just bringing more people & splitting loot thinner ya feelers?

velious was mostly designed for abt 70 players for the endgame raiding. ud know this if you ever played live.

"You guys might not realize this, but R99 has pretty much always been a 2 team server. Team_Zerg vs Team_OtherGuys. Just plug n play guild names as needed." - Sirken, 2015

This is a message to the administration as much as the general player base. This server's community and endgame will not change by itself. It never has.

Consider the Red players, all of whom want good boss loot. The quickest way to get that loot is to form the smallest possible group that can kill the boss, kill any other teams trying to get it, then take the loot. Let's call that the best case scenario. However, you need the best team.

The slowest way to get that loot is never. If you don't have the best team, or even a good one, you'll never get boss loot. Let's call that the worst case scenario.

Here's option three: form a larger group, much larger than you actually need to complete the content. Gather up all of the worst players you can find, people for whom the worst case scenario is the only option. Then zerg the place, and distribute the loot as best you can. Over time, everyone will have at least some loot. Let's call that the PvE scenario: the boring one.

Option three has been the dominant option for years. Players who are bad at PvP control the loot because, knowing they suck at PvP, they group up to cover for their bad play. Furthermore, the server's PvE rules and PnP protect the zerg.

• Can't train them
• Can't loot them
• Can't violate FTE
• Can't AoE them due to resists
• Can't bind camp them
• Can't cause EXP death or otherwise knock their levels down
• Can't heal, dispell, or otherwise assist the boss
• Cant even stop them from plugging or calling LnS

Server isn't going to change on its own. The zerg will always return because most people on Red aren't actually good at PvP. It's only ever a matter of time before they group up and zerg for the safety and security that brings.

This is why we need item loot back and no more server rules or /petition.

I agree with item loot, disagreed with training.

There's no inevitable solitary zerg guild if players are split at character select based on race/deity/whatever (hardcoded teams).

I don't think item loot, or lack thereof, has anything to do with this. I'm a fan, but that's not going to affect how people group under FFA conditions. It's too severe for casual players anyway and would drop the population.
