I don't recall any such rotation crap on Live.
It's been proven repeatedly that there were live servers that had rotations. Yours may not have, but mine did.

This iteration of an MMO didn't get the "instanced" bug until LDoN I think, but even then things weren't perfect. However when you have 1000+ people all wanting pixels and and each target is only up 1(?) time a week its tough. If I were a GM I'd have to advocate adding more spawns despite the "classic" issue. I also don't recall how big my server(Mith Marr) was in its hay, but I think Blue is probably pretty close to its overall pop.

I'm not sure how your story relates to the fact that there were live servers that had rotations.

Simply stating that personally the solution I would choose would be more opportunity over more control. Also hardly thinking it was SOP for guilds to wait months to get another kill on mob X or Y.

yeah they had rotations of like 3-5 guilds maybe but not like the volume here, when servers got this populated in the top end it wasnt uncommon for Verant/SOE to split the server.

Is it time BDA and Taken considered Class C? That would allow the rotation to continue and they could contest for big pixels, rather than trying to drag all the other R guilds down that path with them.

Or are they... chicken?

It still should have you dropping your rotation slot or merging and sharing the slot if you're having to call in help to kill the mob before your 6 hours are up.

They control a super majority if you're looking at it like the Senate. But if you're doing House of Representatives... I'd wager its a pretty even split.

Eh I bet it's just Fing you are salty with. If you catch Old-Man-Fing past his bedtime he can be cranky.

I'm not looking at it like the senate, I'm looking at it like they represent 2/10 of the guilds and are a minority with higher aspirations for what they want out of the server.

Those who don't want to compete I'm sure would be welcome apps by the other class R guilds.

It's quite beyond me why the staff don't just remove variance and every rule specific to raid NPCs and stay hands off, letting the group that gets experience for the kill get the loot.
