The real problem, Daldoma, is that two raid forces in the same zone just doesn't work.
I don't agree. It worked on Live and it has worked on P99, depending mostly on the raid forces involved.

Unfortunately, the server rules have created an atmosphere where two guilds can't reasonably "compete" for a mob. Variances are so enormous that only 2-3 guilds are even willing to try, and those guilds have entire, fully buffed raid forces logged at the encounter site so that there is no actual encounter. There is a pull, an engage, and then a mindlessly trivial downing of a mob that has been weighed, measured, and dissected 1000 times over because this game is 15 years old. The only "encounter" is FTE. The only competition occurs at character select. Wipes require mind-boggling incompetence.

If guilds are held strictly liable for their trains and precluded from camping raid forces at raid sites, you can have legitimate competition again.

Merkk did you know the chemical name of that drug off the top of your head or did you google it?

Reading wikipedia I see it's used to treat "irritability associated with autism" among other things, so maybe they actually do make a medicine for what Chest has!

Yes, but so many people fail. IVU potions are so cheap...

Yea man. I truly don't understand how this happens so often. Even if you get agro, just don't bring it to the raid. Root and camp at box room or something, shit. Or just die.

Sometimes I swear people go brain dead during stressful raids. I've seen good players do some really bone headed things in these situations.

Just be a non-worthless class and cast it on yourself. No need for a potion, just a little bit of mana.
