<Aftermath> to join AEGIS Alliance

Those items would be permacamped. Are they random drops off any mobs? which ones and which zones as a spreadsheet would be put out with the percentages of which so the farm crews can get the most possible spawns.

Replacing respawns with all quakes is definitely the best and simplest proposal here. As mentioned, this is the one time that actual competition happens right now. A quake forces the reigning mega guild (at the moment Riot) to actually prioritize. Windows heavily favor whoever has the numbers. Quakes do something that spawn windows cannot, they require EVERY guild to prioritize their targets, instead of just camping one to three windows at a time.

But when it quakes EVERYONE gets a piece. Sure smaller/less experienced guilds are essentially taking scraps, but those scraps are being socked by the big guild if there's nothing in window and more casual guilds don't have infrastructure to care about socking fucking Talendor. Yet on quake they can find him uncontested for hours.

The way things are right now, guilds are finding themselves unable to even do their usual HoT runs at times. Because if nothing is in window, or even if only one thing is in window, then there's always plenty of Riot members happy to farm SOMETHING.

Rotations could absolutely work in place of this, it would take a lot of up front work and some creativity, but once established could be mostly automatic. The problem is that for a rotation to happen every guild has to buy in and make the player agreement that staff will enforce. There will never be a reason for the prominent mega guild to buy in to any rotation because they stand to lose more than they would gain. Today its Riot who would block that plan, yesterday it was AM, in the future it will be < Someone Else >.

Rooted dragons were implemented as a knee-jerk reaction to Braknar's grand departure.

I've never seen a patch implemented that quickly.

Pretty successful kneejerk reaction imo.

Lol @ the OP and a "merger".

Hyjal, you are full of bad ideas.

They can code random EQ's if they wanted to. It's all 1's and 0's and their imagination is the limit. They won't give regular EQ's like they used to because it didn't solve anything. It created more petition war bullshit. Maybe when all the disease has left the community they will be inclined to attempt something nice again. However, as it stands we've jaded them beyond the point of trying to control 2K+ minds.

I would comment on the rooted dragons, but it would be as much imaginative conspiracy theory as the braknar knee-jerk theory. I will just say it's 3 - 4 years too late to have the desired effect.

Make green the instanced server. Having two servers sharing the same playerbase, with the same ruleset, and [soon enough] the same content would be the height of stupidity.

I am not sure about instances because thats what makes P99 popular is no instances, but I get what your saying, would be cool for a new ruleset.

Still will make a necro over there regardless of any raid ruleset just for the leveling experience alone

Keep your head in the sand then Nuggie.

The first player to run into a target, gets it, isn't Everquest whatsoever.

Rooted dragons isn't "classic" either. That was the entire point of this project.

None of this shit existed, ever. This is all custom content/rules at this point.

If you have any thoughts outside of what you are force fed, please go ahead.

And the early chance at manastone before the bulk of the population can get at them. Amiright?
