once again just my opinion but that suggestion would just lead all other guilds to come together and sock the mob together for a chance to get a cleric epic. there needs to be a slot earlier on for the other guilds to have a chance at getting an epic or there is no incentive for anyone other than ib/tmo/vd to comply.

The problem is making the socking part of the requirement. There's no skill or effort to socking - just being stupid enough to do it. Note - yes, I have socked a few times. And I'm dumb for it.
But after my through-the-night socking for one part of my epic, immediately after, it dropped again! And after that, A THIRD! Crazy luck. But did I demand the third piece for myself again (to MQ, etc)? No. We logged on a guildie's monk to give it to him. We work together as a guild. We congratulate and help each other out. We do not look to stop, hinder, or block our guildmates from getting their pixels too. Personally, I don't even do those things towards any other player at all. I don't really care if you get your pixels before me. I'm happy to let you know when this rare quest mob is up, not kill him so you're stuck again. Now, I'd tell my guildies first, sure - but after that, it's all good

But the whole socking thing can be avoided across the whole server for these bottlenecks and contested camps. But someone always degrades to poopsocking because their life allows for it, then somehow makes the leap that it's "effort" and means "they worked harder". They just worked dumber. That would mean more sharing though, and people would rather 'sock a mob (since they have nothing else to do with their time). Even if you have nothing going on in your life but EQ, there's still other things in EQ to do other than 'sock a mob.
Heh, didn't mean to rant. But it's pertinent. Continue to flame on!
