It's Time to Start Allowing for Open Naggy/Vox Raids (open letter to Raiders)

[Viper7]

This has happened before on blue and even on red (lol) but alot of noobs saying it never has.

Problem is weeding out anyone there who are not alts of high lvl characters trying to random on loot they dont really need but just want to sell it. Thats very hard to do.

I guess the casual still gets to kill the dragon but the reward not so much.

I know it's happened before; see Omni's vox raid a couple years ago.

Honestly, I don't have a problem with people showing up to random on dragon loot, even if they are already rich. Back in classic, people absolutely randomed on stuff to try to sell it. I remember seeing my brother win a Vox eyepatch on his rogue and make some plat off of it.

If everyone has a chance at most of the loot (probably will have to forfeit Rez Stick to the nerd lords), and lots of people can simply show up and fight Vox, we have ourselves a win.

After Cecily seethed hatred via the forums 2 hours ago, I lost connection and couldn't connect back till just now.

Anyone else have that happen? Loramin, you there? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I also like the idea of an open raid. Obviously Lady Vox would be easier to orchestrate, but who knows. Didn't Auld Lang Syne get a shot at these mobs? What happened there?

Let's make this happen guys, regularly scheduled, open Naggy/Vox raids. I'll poke all my guildies with sticks and pee in there cheerios till they agree to this. How about you?

Why in god's name would it be NGB?

Ok say you dont NBG it. How many people have friends that will all roll on it and split the plat made?

The answer is there is no way to make it right but its about time you bluebies did this. I still will be shocked it ever happens... some real pixel addiction going on blue.

Here in lies the old debate. Why does it matter who rolls/wins the loot? The casual guilds argue that the aren't given the opportunity to see dragons, but then loot is an issue. Well, which is it? Is it the encounter or the loot? I've long known it's both, but many won't admit that.

It's clearly both. Hence my suggestion (ensure that it gets into the hands of those whose guilds aren't Naggy/Vox capable - or unguilded). And hope that people are honorable about it if we (collectively) decide to do it that way (IF we can agree to do it at all, here).

Cloki is the guy I'd trust to run it expertly and fairly. Omni have always been good like that ^^
