not a single player has told me to plan on raiding

Thanks for informing us - I had no idea you were an authority on the subject.

If I am an authority, it's because I read (research). It's all here for you to read too.

When Nilbog corrects me, I'll stand corrected.

For every person that screams how all the batphoning, shitbaggery, training, dishonorable tactics are classic there is always another person that came from a server with rotations and a sense of decorum when it came to raiding.

The rules are laid in by Rogean, which are then enforced by Sirken & Co. If you don't like the rules find a new sandbox because it ain't changing anytime soon. I'm truly thankful that this server exists and we all know that Bog and Rogean don't hear it enough - and this comes from a person who can't fucking stand the raid rules and the children that currently occupy the scene.

does decorum include deliberately training people because you don't like their style, chest?

I'd like to see how many servers had enforced rotations versus FFA back on live. I know the two servers I played on were both entirely FFA myself.

As for all the other mess, i recall lots of training but the extent of the batphone for me back in the day was getting an aim message now and then telling me a target was up. We normally just logged on in the afternoon/night checked targets and killed them on a daily basis.

Our server did have rotations eventually, but the rotation was shared among the power gaming guilds. Friendlyfamilyguild still wasn't in the rotation.

I don't think you should give up on rotations here.

I'll add too(on my server anyway) power gamers didn't communicate on forums. They communicated in game, because that is where they were when they weren't sleeping.

I am here to try and do one of the things I was never able to do (VP). I will get 60 and try my best. It is not terribly important if I succeed or not.

EQC will be out sometime between today and the next decade NP

vp was the number 1 reason i started on this server. Vp is my favorite zone period, and i never got to raid it legitimately on live. If you want high end raiding, join tmo or fe. or do like me and wait until velious when VP is dead empty and casual guilds/pickups should have the opportunity.

is it ideal? no...but neither was live.

Also took a few minutes in the way back machine, i couldn't find ANY proof of a gm enforced rotation on live. Checking sony forums and class forums, a lot of servers had rotations but they were formed and upheld by the guilds in it, i found no information even hinting to gm's forcing a rotation. if only

Check out Fippy Darkpaw progression server. A few live servers had rotations that were GM enforced, but they were brought about by a consensus of top raiding guilds and not a GM mandate. This would be ideal here, but is not realistic pre-velious IMO

[kotton05]

Lol we can't even rotate dojo which to me is insane.

What happened to repops? The fuck was the 3 random repops for at prime time.. When in all fairness should of happened at diff times imo. Now weeks gone by and no more repop.

GJ OP stirring this up again, I gotta say fte shouts would lessen the GM's interaction and with the extended variance pretty much all semi casual guilds just poop out...

lotta mad in that happy go lucky post there merkk
