It's about time...

...for a player enforced mob rotation, is it not?

Spread some of that lovey dovey fairness around so we can all raid and be happy.

Wouldn't even need it if variance was removed, tbh. Anyone who cared could show up to a raid target and gun for FTE at the spawn.

No, no gunning for FTE. That mechanic, by and large, is garbage. 130 people in sky waiting around for a mob that TMO always gets with an autofire program, so they can link rotting loot and stop progress of anyone else on the server? No, thanks.

The rotation mechanism already established by the rest of the guilds is a great step in the right direction.

The rules in the other thread mean TMO and IB/FE will split mobs 50/50. TMO gets it spawn number 1, can't engage the next so IB/FE get it second, then they can't engage the next one, so TMO gets it again. Should we add a third guild into the rotation? A fourth? Fifth?

Just have to point out, every guild on server wants and needs efreeti loot. Wu's is that rare and that good, and remains crazy-good even in Velious.

Obviously it wouldn't be very open to the server that way. There always remains the possibility of changing the agreement as needed.

The leadership of FE, IB, BDA, Taken, and Divinity have agreed on a special arrangement for this two week period. Any other guild that would like to participate is more than welcome.

1. Any guild participating in this agreement will wait two hours to engage a raid mob if that guild killed that particular raid mob on its last spawn. This does not apply to any raid mob killed before 12/20. Ragefire is not included; nor does this apply to Veeshan's peak.

This means, for example, if guild A kills CT on 12/22 and CT spawns again on 12/30 at 1pm est, guild A will not be able to engage CT until 3pm est at the very earliest.

2. There will be no training whatsoever in Veeshan's peak. All guilds are free to enter, mobilize, etc. IF there is an accident and one raidforce happens to train another, it is expected that the matter is handled maturely such that the force which was trained is given support (res, drag, etc.) and given a legitimate (timely) first attempt at the mob.

This agreement symbolizes a step toward a less cut-throat and less extreme raiding environment on this server while at the same time attempting to maintain a competitive atmosphere. We all hope that this agreement, in some form or another, carries on into the future and that each of the guilds involved in the end-game raiding scene on this server are able to, between them, come to terms that make this server more enjoyable for everyone.
