Shut the fuck up Alarti. Nobody believes nor cares about a goddamn fucking thing you have to say.

Of course he's extremely biased towards his own interests. However, outside of trolling he routinely makes valid, objective statements if you don't read everything with a "god I hate that guy" lense. You should go check out Ele's post from EQ heads regarding "everyone getting their epic". The nail gets hit squarely on the head, despite the real SPINNING I see on these forums from the "socialists" who don't put in as much time and effort.

A system that is "fair to everyone" should reward organization and dedication, not people complaining with their hands out.

He is just implying (rightfully) there is a reasoning why the rule changed and when it did.

Because the players got together and decided they were sick of that BS and the staff agrees?

Best guild's revolving door of applicants requires current best in slot gear from mobs deemed easy (4 years later) by the community. Shocker.

Yeah, and the community is being left to pull its hair out and resolve a "fair" system (old mobs are still dropping best in slot for new blood to all guilds, even if they are easy to kill).

On a true classic time line, these problems would be GREATLY alleviated. But you must make due.

Have multiple player types on the server with multiple goals and multiple styles of play.
Rotations have no real viability as they punish the uber guilds and promote minimized raid guilds. Its not a good solution after 4 years of variance.

EQ is based on mob scarcity. Every loot or achievement has meaning because of the lack of people who have done or have looted *this*.

The problem is Classic wasn't designed to have 1000+ able raiders exist on 18 or so raid mobs.

The only way to have enough raid mobs for the current server is probably twice-weekly repops. But, that just explodes the amount of loot on the server, and de-values the massive effort guilds like IB/FE/TMO and to a smaller extent Taken/Bda have put into the scene.

Does anyone disagree that effort should be rewarded?

Another option is to add instancing(if its even possible). But, that isn't classic EQ and removes competition which alienates a good 300+ of our most-active and long term players.

Maybe a third option is to Beef up some mobs. 32kHP dragons is a trivial concept for any guild on the server who puts in a bit of time to get some numbers and resist gear. This also isn't classic but it might provide some form of tier system and alleviate the boredom of 18 second kills.

Velious, in a big way, will alleviate much of this raid problem. Less scarcity, and significantly tougher mobs, not to mention 4-5 armor farms, plus an opening up of current Kunark lockdown.

Maybe a solution is to petition Nilbog to allow more people to help him dev. Velious KEEPS being extended in a large part to Dev's availability. I know there are many many people here who would be able to help this project, even if only an hour a day.

Why do you even bother to respond to kagotob... the kid never makes sense and I don't see that he has any real interest in this server other than Phuck TMO.

Which players? How many? Did you include the 150+ in TMO? Did you include all players? Or just the ones who weren't willing to put in the effort TMO does?

It says right in the post. It's the leadership from several of the top raiding guilds. Is that not sufficient?

TMO is working on a raid system that is both "fair & balanced"

TMO is about as "fair and balanced" as Fox News, lol. Spin on, dipshit.
