What makes you think I want to do anything in this game besides kill dragons? Unless of course it's a naggy/vox alt I'm making.. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

With a rotation I'm killing a whole lot less # of dragons every week. Me and most people who are used to raiding almost every night for dragons would probably just quit. Leveling alts isn't really what I've ever played EQ for.

Wouldn't you rather kill more bosses for the time you spend though? I mean really, would you rather spend an hour to kill one boss, or a day to kill two? Is it really your idea of "fun" to track a raid mob for two days in a row, or to poopsock a dragon's spawn point? The amount of time that's spent doing the aforementioned things on this server is about a hundred times more than any guild had to do in classic. I'm saying that the cost to being a high end raider on p99 is unfair for anyone with a life outside of EQ, so why is it relevant to the question of its fairness that you would get less dragons if you agreed to a rotation?

The people who would quit because they don't get to play the version of EQ that you seem to like are obviously in the minority. That version of EQ was invented on this server, it was never a requirement in classic, so I doubt there's a significant number of players who would be really bummed out if raid mobs didn't have absurdly long windows. It's clearly more in the server's interest to make the game less of a time commitment (provided it's classically accurate), so don't act like there'd be some huge exodus of players who are disappointed that they can't poopsock anymore.
