Just for clarification/the record that includes myself. NOBODY should have any say whatsoever. The rules should be as they were, and that should be the end of the story. Any modifications for any purpose, and you're not playing on a server attempting to emulate classic EverQuest.

Because as we all know Verant was perfect and did no wrong. People want to relive EQ nostalgia, not relive EQ raid drama. Everyone has memories of naked PoF corpse runs, that doesn't mean I want to sit there for 4 hours trying to get my corpse back because I did it 14 years ago and have a memory of it.

You do realize that maybe one or two people are the cause of all these nasty little corruption problems and the rest of them just show up when the batphone goes off with absolutely 0 dealings in suspicious or server subversion activities.

They are though. They don't have the nuts to up and leave the guild and instead sit there wading through the hate that the entire server has for them due to a few member's actions simply for pieces of loot. That is reason enough to hate them, isn't it? It's like casting no blame on loyal soldiers for allowing something like the holocaust to happen.

Remove FTP rule, replace with most damage done rule

Remove variance

This would be the worst possible thing that anyone could ever do in any game ever regarding raid mobs. Every single contested encounter would devolve into absolutely nothing but one side trying to drop aggro on opposing dps/glitch the boss/abuse screwy pathing/hoarding players/bring stupidly massive raids etc etc etc. It would solve nothing and simply create a community where everyone hates everyone.


All I've learned from this thread is that..

1) - You can throw a rock in any direction and come up with a different end-all be-all solution to raiding.

2) - Rewording the title of a Ron White comedy special makes you some kind of great philosopher.
