jav-spamming pet-attacking low-latency FTE peons

[Splorf22]

Current rules seem to suggest that there is nothing wrong with unguilded players tracking and tagging raid mobs, as long as each guild does not have more than two representatives at a spawn point (this seems impossible to enforce, but w/e).

So I'd like to kind of feel out if anyone would be interested in sitting on the spawn point of an outdoor dragon for some period of time spamming target nearest mob/ranged attack/pet attack etc. Once FTE is acquired, you or your team would have to be capable of bringing the dragon successfully into camp. If the dragon makes it into camp and we wipe, that's our problem.

PM/post with offers. Or if you feel like turning this thread into good RNF material, that's fine too.

I'll offer one lick of common sense that this would get you banned real quick like.

I approve of this.

100k per dragon, when can I start?

[Castigate]

I really need to level my Bard, this just sounds way too profitable and fun. Real question though is if I could take bids in /ooc after getting FTE? :D

Recent ruling points to yes. Its your mob until you die and another FTE is given. So long as you finalize the bid before the mob gets to camp... you should be set.

[Splorf22]

Although its also possible that everyone could decide to just let you die if you wanted too much or were too offensive. But it would be pretty funny!

edit: I would like to add that although this is a slightly trollishly flavored post, it is serious. I don't like FTE spamming and I'd be willing to pay people to do it for me. I'm fairly confident I could trio Faydedar with Sakuragi/Raev, a bp cleric, and an epic bard, and Fay can drop quite a bit of gear. I'd probably make anyone tracking for us go /afk FTE SPAM FOR THE A-TEAM or something to make it clear who are trackers were.

[Freakish]

That would be in the rules, nothing wrong with it. You might need a dps in there though. Fay is a naggy clone but it has the annoying 3-4% / tick dragon hp regen.

So I remember rules being that you need a raid force to back you up in order to get FTE on a dragon, has this stopped? I noticed sirkens last post in that thread and it seemed to make the raid force rule worthless

[zanderklocke]

Do not need raid force in zone or anything. If you FTE a mob, it's yours to either die to or pull to spot to kill. No kiting allowed though.

[jaybone]

Taking my idea i see.

well wouldnt pulling it without a raid force be kiting?

[Daldaen]

Not if you have a raid force at the camp by the time you get there.

Which is how... basically every dragon goes.

not very likely that an unguilded character is going to have a raid force at the camp.

If he is a hired FTE peon, I'd say its quite likely

Didn't know guilds had dropped so low to hire people for shit like that =S

Did you even read the original post?

[Ravager]

Which target and how much?

Skimmed through it, I try not to pay attention to raiders on this server, reminds me of complaining women too much.

[Pringles]

BUMP. Great way to make a few plat for those new to the server.

[Fael]

1. this wouldnt be hard to "enforce at all." Whichever guild it went to would reveal what guild he was affiliated with. If there was a serious accusation a simple screenshot would show who was on the mob at that time, and GM's could check it. End of story.

2. This is a legit tactic. If you want to keep your guild small and outsource FTE tagger's by contract, then by all means do it.

Well the only problem I see here. Is if you offer someone 100k to FTE a mob for you, and the dragon drops 300k worth of loot, he can just take it, since technically the loot belongs to him. Seems problematic.

[Supaskillz]

You could have been doing this already just give your hired goons temp tags. The problem is everyone will sign up and afk and not win any fte for you.

[Fael]

I guess if your guild is exploiting millions in plat, ( via selling NPC's enchanted platinum bars over a period of 2-3 years) then money to "outsource FTE tagger's" wouldn't be a problem.

I suppose that it wouldn't be a problem. Fortunately, we don't need to outsource FTE taggers anymore; we have people willing to do it for a chance at PD loot. Besides, we would have to lower our quarterly RMT dividend if we used that plat to pay FTE taggers. Not gonna happen on my watch.

Syndrome of a Down rocking out in this thread.

[Gaunja]

Can you put in a list of what each mob FTE is worth? That might help incentives or is it just 100K flat?

[Splorf22]

hmm, I'd have to calculate exactly what the dragons are worth. If I had to guess serious numbers would probably be more like 50k.

I am a bit depressed that I can't 3-man fay though.

I have a Silverwing pull set up for you free of charge this Saturday get at me.
