All Players are Raid Suspended Until Further Notice

Think I see 2 mages tops on our raids, so I doubt them having a bigger air pet is going to win us the mob. PD helm is 5 more MR than a tranny crown, every caster is capable of achieving 200+ Int/wis without much effort - one more cast of lure of ice isn't going to quarantee absolute unrivaled tyranny over Velious. The expansion is going to be about coordination and raiding properly, not about blowing a 32k dragon up with your one extra lure cast. Cheal chains wont be done with NS robes that can and have been bought at EC btw. And the first thing every guild should be doing come Velious anyway is farming arena and whatnot for gear upgrades.

You're splitting hairs over 5 items total here as a massive gear advantage that somehow makes blocking off the entire raidscene for months a genious strategic move for the raiding guilds.

EDIT: Btw "more or less farm rotation by TMO or FE/IB and secured wholly by them" is absurd to read, too. FEIB tally of Rile Crowns: 0, NS robes: 0, mage epics: I think 1 earth staff, no idea if anyone even got it or if the guy who did alrdy quit, ranger epics: who cares, wiz epics: as said 3 or 4, think most of them have quit too. If it were as you claim that we want to stop all raiding to secure the monopoly of said items, then why would FEIB exactly be onboard of this?

And do attest the last paragraph of my post: not raiding hurts us more than maintaining any minimal gear advantage could possibly help us.

Whilst I understand why you guys are going on about gear, you have all gone way off topic! Get back to the real issue! As it stands all raid capable toons are banned from experiencing a good portion of Classic EQ!

I started P1999 3 or so years ago to experience classic EQ content once more. Loot is a secondary bonus. I came back to slay Dragons, bosses, hard content. I came back to find a community of players and join forces and test ourselves against the content, the challenge of re learning encounters and succeeding, that is where EQ classic wins.

But over the last 2 years or more, the minority of server, ‘the hardcore’ if you will, have had that pleasure, for whatever reason you wish to [insert here], that is no longer the case for this server, the owners have spoken, they want the ENTIRE community to enjoy CLASSIC EQ content.

Let’s perhaps focus on this first.
