Would you participate in a server wide twitter based batphone for raid mobs? (poll)

How will the money be split when TMO offers 200k for FTE at the very first raid?

growing despair. anyways good luck.

[Strifer]

I think its a great idea.

1: slow.
2: cumbersome.
3: easily prone to drama and bitching.
4: another fantasy.

As someone who is incredibly far from the raiding scene, and newer to the server.

It would certainly be nice to have access to my epic at some point down the line. From what I've heard, if I'm not in TMO or FE at 60, I won't have a shot at getting it.

Again, no credibility here, just sharing some thoughts.

This idea is slowly taking shape to form the largest zerg guild ever seen.

It seems like many people think all that is involved in killing these mobs is just 'getting a zerg together'. Somebody has to coordinate where to park toons etc. Somebody has to coordinate/lead the raids. Somebody has to divy out the loot. Somebody has to be 'the leader' and make decisions. Trust me, decisions are not easy or fast when you have some sort of 'guild council' with guild leadership from multiple guilds trying to agree on something. Who makes these final decisions? Who makes day-to-day decisions? It just seems like too many people think that killing raid mobs on this server is about having 'a zerg' when there is so much more coordination and organization that goes on for this to happen. There is far more drama and soulcrushing in coordinating a bunch of random people from multiple guilds than I think some of you care to admit. Then there's just the whole aspect of getting people to sign up for this, getting leadership of other guilds to take a hands-off approach while still supporting the idea to its members, and I still don't quite see how you are going to get people to reliably track, without a hard-coded reward system in place.

I don't mean to be super negative about the idea... I just think you highly underestimate what will happen to this group's morale when TMO beats them to the punch the first few times and they start to realize that most of the time they respond to these batphones, it's just to waste time and hear/watch TMO get loot. So yeah, I support the idea, but the problem is that I really believe it has a very low chance to ever happen in the first place or that it will continue to happen if it does actually get off the ground. There are so many factors that have nothing to do with 'having a bunch of people being there to kill a dragon' that people don't think about.

Maybe the main point I am trying to make, is that organizing these things takes rock-solid drama-free leadership. Unless there is an extremely motivated and efficient leader in place, I can't see this plan having any chance for success.

I remember one specific barbraid where we were doing the boss in plane of innovation. It was VERY ugly with so many players lol but it was so much fun anyway. I think although the poll is locked in at dead even there may be enough players interested in this. I'm going to start asking around to certain guild's leadership if they want to participate. If you have a guild who would want to get in on this PM me or whatever.

was this before or after flag removal? knowing you after.
