Making sense so far.

Greetings Everyone. If it is the same top 2 guilds constantly winning races to these targets who have accumulated all the best racers on the server for example aftermath and awakened.
In agreement on how this would make sense. The most seasoned players with the most experience in the arena of "FTE'ing" are predominantly in these two guilds.

How will other guilds who have the force to kill these targets get a fair and legitimate chance at that these targets if they are constantly getting beat by Usain Bolt?
Do what the others did. Practice, and keep doing it. There are practice servers you can do this on. This is where it begins to sound like you want to sign up for the Olympics without qualifying, then would like to walk away with a medal.

Is there another way around this other than racing to give other guilds a fair and legitimate chance at these target and get a piece of end game bosses without having to race? Like a fixed rotation and failure to kill with a certain amount of time will make that boss FFA or go down to the next guild on list?
Here's where it derails and 95% of the pending flame wars in this thread will come from.

The foundation of this server is to re live our EQ live memories and end game seems to be dominated/controlled by 2 big guilds at the moment.
Where did you play? I'm from Quellious, where Vis Maior, Lotus Cult, and Wraith were the competing entities. Swapping back and forth from FFA to rotations on things like NToV based on the temperature of the relationships between the guilds.

That's your call sir! I can tell you that when I wanted to raid back on Quellious, I left my beloved <Denizens of Shez'Baernon> to join the ranks of <Vis Maior> as they were the baddest mo'fuckas on the server.

I can also tell you that I never walked around with my <Denizens> tag on expecting to be given a spot in any form of rotation. When I wanted to raid, I joined the raiding guild.

That's the biggest difference of my recollection of "the good old days" versus the foot stomping and breath holding we seem to be cultivating. (That's directed at the server as a whole, not yourself good sir).

*shrug*

I'm bored at work :P
