There is a question about where Hokushin was camped out at. I zoned into VP 19 seconds after the ground shook and no IB were at zone in or anywhere near the pad.

[Tue Nov 11 21:28:48 2014] The ground shakes as the gods show their influence upon the races of Norrath. Creatures of all types stir to life in response. You feel you should get somewhere safe as soon as possible.

So, you zoned into VP 19 seconds after the repop and still couldn't secure PD for your guild? Geez, how big of a headstart do you need?

I mean, come on! Surely you are not that terrible?

You have to petition if they pick up draco in the kite, that's the cost of doing business with that strategy. It doesn't matter if it's a means to an end (the CT kill) you still have to drop draco, either pull/kill or drop him. Kiting is illegal.

1. The mechanic of the engagement is such that you either have to kite him away or you must kill him first. If you kill him first, you allow others a free shot at CT.

2. If you kill him first, the you reach your bag limit in fear all at one time. Because a class R guild was in fear, it would seem that they want to kill him, so im not sure why they are advocating that the Class C guild SHOULD kill him first. Of course it could free you up to go get something else; perhaps a better class C repop target the next day.

3. Working within the rules established by the staff, pulling draco away from CT for 30 seconds while you kill him doesn't seem to cause an undue burden on anyone.

4. Finally, it seems your true problem is with the class R system. If you didn't construct self imposed rules on when you can engage a mob, Draco turning to class R wouldn't effect you. I suggest you go back and redo your own agreement, such that draco is freely killable by any class R guild on a repop without it becoming a matter of who is up next on rotation.


Take that rule away, an

If Draco were C, like in BDA's case, the problem is with respawns being Class based.

When they should be all FFA. Cause that actually fosters competition.

But you don't want that because you lose your vending machine mobs every respawn.

I feel petitioning kiting is equally stupid though.

How about people don't kite entire fucking zones to zerg down CT? Doing more with over 9000 zerglings is more a more apt description of events.

But this is more evidence for the Chest proposal. Split servers. Neckbeard train each other server and GM enforced rotation with FFA respawns server.

PS Draco FTE is still not zonewide. Or maybe I missed it after Egressing but I'm pretty sure it happened while I was in zone...
It's not zone wide and one guild has a habit of keeping him indefinitely kited when CT is up. Give you one guess which guild that is.

Don't try to absolve yourself of this behavior.

Every guild that kites all of fear to zerg down CT, kites Draco the entire time they engage CT. Your guild is no exception to this.

Back on topic - FFA Respawns. Class restrictions for them are dumb.

Or just simplify current rules: don't FTE Draco unless you are bringing him to your camp and killing him, like any other raid target.
Too bad about bag limit.

[Tue Nov 11 21:34:38 2014] Silverwing engages Aalpha!
[Tue Nov 11 21:37:33 2014] Aadill rises chaotically into the air.
Silverwing was brought to zone in in under 3 minutes.

[Tue Nov 11 21:35:10 2014] Xygoz engages Lazie!
[Tue Nov 11 21:39:55 2014] Luchino shouts, 'Assist me on -[ Xygoz ]-'
4 minutes 45 seconds on the dragon furthest away from zone in.

[Tue Nov 11 21:36:44 2014] Druushk engages Merkk!
[Tue Nov 11 21:41:34 2014] Soluknar assumes a defensive fighting style'

And Druushk was engaged 4 minutes and 40 seconds after the FTE message.

Within 13 minutes of the ground shaking we had 3 dragons dead. I imagine IB was a little upset we out pulled them in there.
I suspect this is the greatest accomplishment you have had in the past several years of your life. At least, you speak of it as if it is. Pathetic.
