Raid mobs - 30 minute timers, and you. IF YOU RAID, READ IT

[grindle]

I haven't done any raiding on here yet but i have done raiding on live extensively and i have to say personally i am all for first come first server. When two raids show up at raid boss at the same time let them both try to kill it and the ones who do the most damage should get the kill. I have never understood all the drama about raid bosses , if you miss this spawn it will spawn again and grab it that time and everyone still gets there loot. I have always thought that having PVP enabled (like the arena) around the area of high demand raid bosses would be great , if two raids show up for the raid boss let them fight it out for the right to farm the boss then natural selection takes over.

Just my two coppers worth, now FLAME ON (im cold and the flames are warm LOL)

Except if a guild wants to be a real douchebag, the competitive move is to keep grabbing the spawn and deprive other guilds of the gear, even at the cost of letting it rot, to ensure that your guild has the leg up (gearwise) on raid content when the subsequent expansion comes out.

Basically if FFA isn't the answer, at the very least variance and 30 minute timers need some retooling. like my previous post on page 6 mentions.

Then you get horrible zerg tactics from both guilds, with ass hat memblurs and trains [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] It's not pretty.

If you miss the raid mob spawning, more than likely you'll miss it next time too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Very true, especially on this server. Though "competitive" would imply that other guilds have a chance at attempting said spawn, whereas here...they try to eliminate the "chance to attempt" even if they have nothing to gain by killing said spawn....

Fuck you op and your bitchiness about raid targets.

Kill it if you can, if you cant, gtfo. Its contested for a reason, which was an entirely HUGE part of classic. If you want pretty fairies and unicorns in a nice lil instance where you can have a circle jerk til your whole raid arrives, go play wow or EQ2.

This is classic EQ. Contested mobs are part of it. Eventually, this server will get to the point of how things were in live, back in the day with a much large community. Competition is the name of the game when it comes to contested.

Server rules or not, fuck the pnp and "raid rules" in place.
