Raid Scene Poll
 

Doing this yet again in light of new changes. All options are independent, so you can as many as you like.

Xasten-style bag limit: Guilds are restricted to a certain number of targets per week (somewhere just south of 50% probably)

Sloan-style 2 hour delays: Any guild that kills a target will wait at least two hours before engaging it the next time it pops.

No poopsocking: Guilds agree not to camp huge armies of fully buffed toons on the spawn points of raid targets. 'In window raids', e.g. juggs when Trakanon is in window, will not last more than 1 hour per spawn. Coh teams are fine.

Simultaneous Repops: Guildleaders of every major guild sign a petition asking for simultaneous repops every week or so.

Reduced Variance: Major guild leaders sign a petition asking for variance to be reduced by 75% (IMO only works if you check 'no poopsocking')

Variances reduced or at the very least get rid of these extended variances. Variance does its job by preventing people from using auto-fire to get FTE on targets every single time when they know the second the target is going to spawn. (We have learned for this reason that some variance is good, nobles cycle in sky being an example) the same guild, even the same person, would get FTE every single time, outnumbered or not. All you need is a low ping and some kind of autofure going to win. these huge extended variances however just make things very not fun for everyone.

To be honest id want variance reduction AND some kind of civil agreement to not monopolize

Whats remarkable to me is how few people are against poopsocking. I don't think Rogean will accept too much reduction in variance unless the guilds promise not to engage in FTE retardation/poopsocking etc.

I'll have everything on the menu. IMO, the raid scene is broken. Spend a few months trying everything and see what works. The only thing that doesn't work is doing nothing.

two things all the guilds should try to hammer out and agree to do,

Stop training
Respect FTE messages

Easy to do those during repops when guilds are in different zones :cool:

I don't think a single solution would work, a healthy mix of all the above in addition to "not being a young lawyer" would most likely yield the best results.

This is really the only option that should be on the poll.

Yes to Sloan style and yes to sirken, reducing variance would make it way easier to rotate as well.
