Bob's Perfect World- A wall of text regarding the raid scene on P99

[Hottbiscuits Dreadmuffin]

Someone suggested instancing in another thread, but that would make the rare items too common

Removing all of the rules in regards to training could be disaster for lowbie camps/everywhere else in general

Having big raid target mobs spawn in random zones would be HILARIOUS (and may work, maybe?)

Lol, this is nice

[Skope]

hey, i had a thought that occurred to me about a million times over the last year...

if 4 day windows were introduced to prevent poopsock and we've spent more time poopsocking with 4 day variance than we've spent not poopsocking, maybe we should just go classic.

Hmmm sounds really frustrating. WELCOME TO EQ

[Kassel]

your game theory needs more consideration of the huge negative externalities present.

[tekniq]

i concur sir.

I still dont undestand why there is so much complaining about raiding. If you want to kill a mob spend the time to do it, if you dont then quit whining for the mobs to be handed to you with x amount of time for you to log in and kill it with guild A and B. This is a classic server and most of us are playing on it for that reason exactly, competition. You dont want to waste your life/time camping mobs thats fine too, jus wait till the content is semi old and raid it when the top guilds arent actively farming the mob.

The complaining comes from the fact that the amount of time required for most of the higher end content is longer than any server ever required in the classic period, due to the outrageously long variance on raid mobs.

In that case make a post about having the variance removed not having a raid mob rotation.

Raiding Trak would be fun if they spawned him in a random world zone, once a week, at a random time. Obv not classic but people would have to race for him which beats poopsocking his lair imo.
