Why hasn't Dial-A-Port made an alt guild for raiding?

[Loadsamoney]

Dial-A-Raid?

They've certainly got enough people in their ranks, and I'm sure enough of those people have alts that can raid. That'd make for an awesome alt-guild for a collective that basically acts as Everquests version of Uber Lyft.

[Tunabros]

pretty sure all the druids in dial a port are alts

and they're mains are in actual raiding guilds

Really? Here I thought it was a guild full of mains that just like porting people around.

[Tunabros]

yeahhh no haha

Dial a raid is still a great idea a raid force for hire guild aka mercenaries to help kill epic spawn bosses and stuff

[Jibartik]

Dial a raid should work like a bunch of hired mercinaries.

Like you basically hire some pinkertons and go afk, and they stand and do the verina tomb kill for you, and then you loot it.

That'd be bad ass. Like if seal team was all for hire thugs that were just cruel and dominated every spawn and they all had gristle and 5 oclock shadows and cowboy hats.

[Gustoo]

Mandatory to be human eyepatch with the exception of shaman where it’s mandatory to be barbarian eyepatch (to be in the guild) hehehe

If I'm hired to come track and help kill VS, you'd better believe I'm charging one of his stones as my commission. I've got an epic to complete after all.

cringing hard at this thread

[Jimjam]

Man I was literally thinking about dial a raid the other day ... deffo is a niche worth exploring.

[Fammaden]

The top raid guilds on each server are already Dial-a-Raid, you just pay the costs of the raid loot with your life and time.

this already exists, and has existed for decades, just never under a guild tag.

back in the day, I hired the awakened farm crew to camp and loot a darkmetal falchion for my SK.

I paid azure guard 100k for a child's tear and rak'ashiir kill

I paid 35k for a xalgoz fang, i think also from awakened.

there are dozens of other times I paid people to help out in game.

<dial a raid> would spend most weeks doing fuck all because the daily/weekly demand for a mercenary kill force doesn't exist, moreover if it did exist, then that guild would end up with 90% of the entire server's platinum.

and you fail to consider that most players will not pay enough to make other players leave the EC tunnel.

money talks in game, or IRL

If you truly believe that, then RMT should be allowed on this server, at least the kind where you pay real money to a guild for looting rightsto, say, an epic item.

I.E $300 for a guild to allow a Bard to loot Trakanon Guts.

It was called TMO

You mean the downfall of P99, the extraodinary league of poopsockers who died when exposed to sunlight?

If I were rogean, I'd be charging a monthly sub for access to P99.

I'd pay it. But it would need to come with assurances, such as guilds don't get to monopolize the content and put a padlock on it, barring other guilds from experiencing it.

literally everything would be instanced. one free per month, then you can buy more instances

EC, ToV, ST, crushbone

instanced.

I'd make P99 into a pixel vending machine.

don't wanna raid? I'll sell you a fully leveled BiS toon.

My thoughts that a popularised ‘dial a raid’ could be rather damaging to the servers relatively cohesive community.

As it stands plat is basically useless except for buying vendor consumables like bandages, muffins and spells. Thats why most people farm dkp to spend instead.

Dial a Raid would be a return to the terrible days of Kunark where everyone was a plat obsessed farmer shitting up all the zones for the sake of draconically hoarding pp.

Then raid drops and epic-related drops shouldn't cost the astronomical prices they do. 20k for a VS stone, 100k for a Hate Emerald, 1mil+ for White Dragon Scales (IF you can find someone willing to even sell them), etc.

[Jimjam]

Thats backward. The MQs cost so much because plat is worth so little.

[Gustoo]

It’s not a viable option because there is nothing in game to trade a white dragon scale for. Like it I have one million PP it let’s me buy more fungus than I can wear, and any other droppable items.

Like you said it has no value, the people slaying these dragons all want the loot for themselves there’s no spare best in slot items to sell to highest PP bidder unless the raid guilds switch to some kinda everything is sold
And we split the money among the guild and you just buy the items with plat.

But dial a raid could work for “ easy “ targets that aren’t soloable at level 60 just not super rare top dragon stuff
