Just ban the repeated offending guilds already.

How mad does it make you seasoned neckbeards to see casuals get YOUR pixels? They DIDN'T EVEN EARN THEM!!!

So mad that some of those "seasoned neckbeards" are in here congratulating us.

I'm sure in some darkened basement somewhere, a neckbeard is being scratched furiously at this atrocity, but most of the responses so far seem to be pretty positive.

Of course, this IS R&F, so UMAD, bros?

If only there wasn’t an rnf muzzle on these guilds then you’d really be able to get the pop corn ready.

There is no RNF muzzle over here. I'm happy for CSG, though a little surprised that it sounds like they had the zone to themselves. I'm not sure what other guilds were up to. I hope they got some mobs as well.

Crawling NToV is fun when you aren't being trained by other guilds, though I would never want to crawl NToV for an individual mob, every spawn.

If I'm not mistaken we basically reached an agreement where we let other guilds have WToV, Dain, and some other mobs, and they wouldn't really go after most NToV mobs (I think PS did Ikiatar). This meant we could let the spawns bunch up and then do them during our prime times.

I much prefer this over the idea of 3am batphones, tracking mobs for 16 hour spawn windows, etc etc. Reminds me more of how it was on my server on live.

If you are being trained, those other guilds get suspended, no?

Regardless, if you enjoy a crawl then you are in a powerful position to change this. I would propose setting 1 month or possible 2 separate months of the year aside for a NToV crawl that is rotated. 4 total crawl slots, obviously AM and Awakened each get a crawl slot, maybe the other 2 slots are /randomed by guilds / alliances or even just 'open server' crawls with /random rules (No guilds awarded crawl slots can roll during open crawl).

WToV and Doze are still normal raiding targets. Each guild is given 48hrs to clear all raid targets in NToV, after which they become FFA. Any zone-line / borderline zone pulls forfeit your slot and all targets become FFA.

Odds are open crawls won't drop Vulak (just my guess) due to noob raider issues, even some of the harder mobs. So A/A still could get a shot at those.

Can let your folks recharge batteries and level alts or whatever, other world targets still on the table.

Would you and Detoxx endorse this?

Wedar is volunteering to lead two NToV crawls a year!

He just has to start by logging on P99 twice a year
