So, drama aside, it actually seems like all the guilds here are of one mind in regards to the necessity of utilizing certain tactics in the FFA scene and we also are of one mind in saying none of us like them. We all seem to consider them a necessary evil. If that is true, what action must the guild leaders of p99 do to motive the GMs to consider rehandling the FFA rotation slot?

Would it take a written petition signed by the guild leaders? Would we be allowed a trial period of C/R/C/R-repop FFA? Is there any possibility of considering this, given the unified concern across the guilds?

Unpopular opinion here but getting rid of the ffa portion of the cycle and just giving us more free mobs is only appealing bc its more free mobs that we don't have to do jack for. The ffa portion was meant to make the classes overlap somewhat, which isn't really a bad thing, as pointed out before it has been mostly R guilds responsible for making ffa a bad experience. This is probably too extreme but maybe we could try something like absolutely no one is allowed to be in zone during an ffa window and no one is allowed to be bound in that zone/gate into that zone. Every time an ffa mob spawns it is announced server wide so that every guild knows the mob spawned at the exact same time and then the race is on. If someone from a guild is in zone at the time of the pop then that guild is disqualified for that encounter. I definitely took it to an extreme, but that would be a literal free for all. Maybe even make it where a mob in ffa changes window from 16 hrs to any time within the week so that ppl have more trouble coordinating alt armies for a week in tt or dl etc.

Just very telling to me that most the answers to 'stop the sock' has to do with keeping X number of people in the zone to a finite number.

These type of solutions are not only impossible in a practical means, but also near impossible to enforce.

Why do we want to go from one bandaid solution to another?

R/C FFA = repop is not 'more free mobs' in the slightest. Asgard has to race everyone else for their 'free' pixels on the FFA repop without having to put up with the restrictions of either needing a COH mage or limiting their members to not be in zones to bag a FFA kill.

3 months of mage tracking did not erase 3 years of the attitude which cockblocked the server.

3 months of mage tracking did not invent the idea of poopsocking

3 months of mage tracking did not create the tactic of 'spam targeting' while you track

however those who feel my guild is responsible for this all continue to blindly tote your pitchforks and torches.

man.. in what way is taking 1/3 of the pie and splitting it between the 2 classes not going to result in asgard getting more free mobs. R mobs are free mobs man, we dont have to pretend otherwise just bc this is a public forum.

i totally agree that 3 months of mage tracking didnt erase 3 years of cockblocking and ill will towards tmo, but i will say that my personal opinions regarding each of the established guilds on this server pre raid change have changed. the finger consistently got pointed at tmo for a reason, it is also consistently being pointed at taken for a reason.

ive definitely officially done my part in making myself look bad today so i will step away unless this thread starts to bear fruit.

So are you representing your entire guild's stance on the ffa situation? Or are you posting your personal opinion? If your guild is opposed to FFA repops then there is no point in attempting to confer and ratify.
