HANDS OFF PERIOD
As of January 1, 2014, Category A guilds will be considered “Hands Off” for any Priority raid targets during the first 7 days of each calendar month. During that time period, Category A guilds will avoid any of their priority targets and open them to the rest of the server. This will however exclude raid targets in Veeshan’s Peak.

while there are ridiculous variences that can cause mobs to go 10 or more days before spawning, this should be amended to CAT A guilds will not go for the first priority spawns of each month instead. 7 days allows a rather high probability that a lot of these mobs will still spawn after that

We're heavily negotiating to have these variances reduced. Otherwise, we suggested sitting out on each priority mob that spawns first each week.

This is no better than the original proposal of 7 days. even worse in ways. that's 4? priority targets in an entire month. no thanks.

This whole thing has a lot of holes in it. but leaving each of the first "priority" targets up of the month is a no brainer. Anyone who reads into this alternate suggestion can see it's not better at all

CAT A De-Prioritized Raid Targets:
Gorenoire, Talendor, Maestro of Rancor & Dracolich (solo spawn)

CAT A Priority Raid Targets:
Cazic Thule (Draco), Venril Sathir, Trakanon, Faydedar, Innourouk, Severillous
[/U][/I][/B]

Inny, Sev, and Fay moved to de-prioritized. Sev specifically as CAT A guilds will have free reign in VP

Why is anything outside of VP in Priority class again?

tis a pretty damn good point...

[baalzy]

1) This is an 'Official Proposal' from IB/FE (Maybe just FE?) and has been signed by IB/FE (Maybe just FE?) and TMO. Not the 'Official rules moving forward', at least, not yet.

2) I think this is reasonable if you really try to look at things objectively and don't get caught up in the gleaming lights of Bag limits and such. Those ideas, while being great, would also naturally lead to people leaving the 'hardcore' guilds for guilds with fewer raid-goers. It's not reasonable to expect the 'big players' to reduce their member-size just to be able to distribute gear in a reasonable fashion. I'd say the VP thing is a bit dodgy (should really be in effect after 1st successful kill) and the Inny/Fay inclusion on the non-priority list that Alarti threw out and Derubael seconded is a good idea too.

3) Nothing is stopping 'B' guilds from competing for every non-vp mob in the game, this agreement is basically a check on the top-guilds saying they'll make sure that 20-30% of ALL raid targets get distributed to the less hardcore guilds.

4) This gives the hardcores the ability to get their rocks-off while preventing a server-wide cockblock of all desirable pixels by one guild.

If you don't see Getsome posting in here then no, IB has not signed off on anything

I guess we are considered Category C? Which did not exist on that proposal.

The Mystical Order, Forceful Entry, and Inglorious Basterds will start in category A. All other guilds will start as Category B.
