I guess so, but I think that really applies to anyone who doesn't track/poop-sock.

We really have no interest in tracking for ridiculous amounts of time,
i.e., super-variance we have now or poop-socking.

More interested in killing really hard shit (which just so happens to be raid merbs, lol [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )
and making it harder on ourselves by doing it with a group or two, than the actual loot it
drops, well at least myself anyway.

Don't get me wrong tho, loot is obv nice, esp when it's an epic quest cock-block,
but not gonna rage about it.

Trying to combat people using alts is a hopelessly lost cause.

^ good luck

I agree Aaradin. I'm staying out of these raid modification threads for the most part, but it would be really nice for our guild if we could get a shot or two at a few raid targets with our low #s for fun. Would make any pixels we could manage to get way more awesome. FUCK ZERGING.

I honestly don't think that we'll get our shot(s) at a lot of kunark raid mobs til velious hits... which is alright I suppose! My bloodlust can wait. It's not worth fighting and shit.

A mechanic that was tossed around internally was:

I'll use trakanon as an example.

Trakanon spawns, all players currently in zone get a flag. Players who 'zone in' without this flag get sent to the zone in and flagged.

This means.. anyone logging into a character after trakanon has spawned will be sent to the zone in. Once you've been in the zone once during his spawn, you can zone out and back in without being sent to the zone in.

Discuss.

I can get down with that idea, Rogean. Will help with the racing aspect of the encounter since people won't just be logging on alts. We still need a way to keep guilds from monopolizing content though.

Point systems ftw!

totally abuse-able non classic game mechanic

1. Elaborate. That's what these threads are for. If you aren't explaining, you're being a waste of time.
2. Leave classicness out of this. It isn't classic to begin with to camp out hundred of alts at every raid boss spawn because there's no subscription fee.

I wonder if it would "encourage" people to leave their toons logged in at poop mnt instead of sitting at character select or logged out or whatever. Rebuffing would be a heck of a lot quicker than running or cothing an entire raid down.

It's an interesting idea though, to be sure.

I like

But I feel like with any change, people will find ways around it

what comes to mind is everyone camped anywhere in seb (free ride to ent!), with 10 AFK coth mages/anchors ready to bring them all down

it's going to be who can blow through pearls the fastest

Edit: I see this being nasty in a zone like hateplane though. We have already had issues with guilds bringing inny to the zoneline.

[Funkutron5000]

Could you make it so the area surrounding the Trakanon spawn, say, everything from the invis wall on, doesn't get the flag applied, even if online? Basically if a guild is poopsocking they all get booted back to zone in as well as anyone that logs on in the area?
