Default Noser's Anti-Poopsock First to Engage Raid Rules

* Have a full boss spawn that randomly occurs once a week. (similar to patch day on live.)

* No guilds are allowed to have 5+ members camped in a raid zone or adjacent raid zone at any time with the intent to raid a target. The exception to this would be for those that are under level 50 and are experiencing.

* The guild that is first to engage has claim to the boss, abolishing the 15 member claim rule.

The idea is to encourage guilds to race rather than poopsock raid targets.

I would like to hear some counter-arguments to this proposal other than "this isn't classic." Spawn variance is not classic either so please no "not classic" arguments.

Please try to explain how in the hell you would enforce this as a GM. How would you expect players to call each other on this? What zones are adjacent to Hate? you can port there from anywhere (except Sky). How do you know what 5 other players' intent is? Maybe their guild is having Trivia Night in the Feerrott? Maybe they're playing roulette with /random?

Sorry bro, totally unenforceable and it also forbids legitimate activity.

I'm not really sure how you would enforce it and that is my biggest concern as well. I guess you may have to try and just honor it like you would a rotation or anything else? Adjacent zone rule wouldn't apply to hate or sky.

It's not all that hard to figure out if a guild has camped out in a raid zone or not.

great ideas, down with poop-socking please. random timers on each raid mob actually gives a chance for guilds to mobilize for a target instead of camping in the zone with full buffs or sitting on top of a spawn.

Just trying to brainstorm some ideas to cut down on the poopsocking and get guilds raicing. The only other suggestion i really saw relating to this was to have bosses on completely random 7 day spawn timers.

The only way it's going to stop is if they outright ban players for camping like the no-talent retards they are.

Caught camping either the spawn point, or the zone itself? Banned.

Problem solved.

yea ban people for a practice that makes up almost entirely what everquest is predicated upon - camping things

good idea

Heck just have random spawn timer to pop all bosses/gods at once. That way no one could monopolize any one spawn and socialism wins!

there's nothing even remotely classic about the raid scene here anyways, might as well just do something whacky.

Or just keep em all depopped for a couple months just to whiz on peoples cheeerios and (more importantly) to make Kunark Beta more popular. Hell, that's not the worst idea....
