Rotations =/= handouts

So many people think this way, and it's the biggest hypocrisy in EQ. If you play EQ you track shit all day long, indirectly. You sit in your group and wait for named to respawn, you kill AC placeholders, you press track looking for Quillmane, you wait multiple hours for Hadden to spawn. It doesn't matter if your on a monk in trakanon's lair, or an enchanter camping frenzy, it's all the same thing. I tracked Trakanon for an hour yesterday while watching Netflix. Would my time have been better spent quading on my crappy druid 4th alt? BDA can track raid targets 24/7 if they want to. They choose to track everything else instead.

Last I checked, except for maybe Quillmane, everything else you mention has no variance, you know when the PH or named will spawn, and you can set a timer for it.

You're also not competing for FTE since you "own" that camp, so you will get that kill as a reward for your time when it finally spawns. Pretty sure if you were at the pained soul camp in TT for 8 hours, it finally spawned, and someone nicked it from you... you'd have a problem with that.

These things also don't require 15+ of your buddies camping out their mains nearby and you hope they all log in before the opposing guilds get their forces ready. All of those collective man hours lost if your guild's javelin wasn't fast enough.

So yeah, two drastically different situations with drastically different stakes the way the raid scene works currently.
