Derubael wants us to stop the socking. What do you mean exactly?

As it stands to get FTE and stand a chance on most FFA mobs you need 1 mage 1 tagger minimum. If you don't consider this socking, then make a rule only 2 players allowed in zone when it spawns otherwise disqualified.

On certain mobs, to even stand a chance to get FTE with the current raidscape you need to sock.

Venril Sathir and Trakanon being the primary examples.

VS will have 2 trackers (1 Mage and 1 war/cleric/enchanter) plus several at entrance. Everyone that competes on this does it with a warrior wielding a Bladestopper who stalls (aka tanks and does 0 DPS to stay alive long enough til a raid force is there). This usually means you have a full group in zone. (Mage, cleric x 2, warrior x2-3, enchanter) This isn't a single guild doing it, it's multiple, and if you don't you stand no chance to kill VS.

Trakanon is even worse. They have 2 Mages down at poop mountain entire window ready to CotH down more Mages who then CoTH down more people, it's a big old sock fest and guilds without 2 Mages living on poop mountain stand no chance.

I feel like this is a simple fix. 2 in zone when it spawns, whether they be 2 trackers, a tracker and a tagger, or 2 taggers. Anything over that, is immediately unable to kill the mob. Anyone found socking outside the zone would also be disqualified. Aka don't set up your Trak CotH group at the orb or your VS CotH group in DL.
