A roleplaying game at that. All of the extra stuff takes a person OUT of the game. I think it misses the point. I am just as guilty of using these things as any but at least I can see that.

Talking about skill in this case is silly when you are competing against a team that's been clearly burned and continually burned out by the rule change.

Imagine what happens to Riot now if some rule change happens where crews of 20-30 people complete in TOV. Would the guild survive that? Maybe in some form but you guys built yourselves to do something else. Every guild that was built prerooting was built to do something else. AM was able to adjust the best but even they are struggling because they were built to do something else for so long. The adjustment was destructive all over and underestimated by everyone clearly.

Imagine if AM had jumped all over helping to develop a rotation plan. Braknar might not have quit, then the dragon rooting might not have happened, then Riot maybe doesn't get to take over.

Yeah so now that Riot is in control now I guess we'll be seeing a rotation right away then.

Yeah, the issue then becomes guild size. (limits are not classic as this did not have to be addressed in era)

1. Keep guilds big. When your spot in the rotation comes around there is little pixels for the amount in the guild. This will most likely cause the zerg guild to break up (not a bad thing)

2. Smaller guilds. Strike forces etc. Having many of these increases the time between rotations for everyone else. This will cause people to make alts and put them in many guilds to increase their pixel intake. There will be no rules against alts or alt accounts to do this because it was never done in era so original developers never had to address it. read: not classic.

3. You are left with having big guilds go after things to satisfy members, rotations that mean you really don't need to log on for up to 5-8 weeks if you are just raiding, which many do and they don't play the game. Many hate the game and only like raiding.

4. The server will bleed players until only those are left that can get along with whatever ruleset is in place. At this point you don't need rotations or any weird rules. The few super dedicated left will be getting the top pixels just like in classic... but posting it on Youtube.

Have u tried asking them

Instances were put in to relieve all of these problems... but in doing so they left a shallow husk of a game. There is no need to have the MMO in MMORPG when you instance. Bump into a elf in town, say hi and proceed to your own little game within the game free from anyone else.

They put instances in later (with a mix of open world mobs as well) because they realized the way it worked was stupid. Because their PAYING subscribers shouldn't need to jeopardize their livelihood calling in sick just to track mobs on an elf sim. That maybe a game / work / family balance was far more healthy than "race all the competition." You already need to grind the ever living fuck out of the game as it is.
