Raid Compromise Proposal

[baue1446]

Instead of all this FTE/COTH/POOPSOCKING nonsense I have an idea. This will reduce stress on both guilds and there will be plenty of loot for everyone. Yes this will only involve the top 2 guild FA/Awakened but honestly if other guilds wanna compete with mobs thats fine. But I dont see any other guilds COTH / FTEing mobs so it doesn't matter. This would only be a gentleman's agreement

So my idea is this. We just split the raids into two categories. And every week we would switch off which guild does which category

NTOV (15 mobs)

Aaryonar
Cekenar
Dagarn the Destroyer
Eashen of the Sky
Ikatiar the Venom
Jorlleag
Lady Mirenilla
Lady Nevederia
Lord Feshlak
Lord Koi'Doken
Lord Kreizenn
Lord Vyemm
Sevalak
Vulak`Aerr
Zlexak

&

Everything else (15 mobs)

Klandicar
Sontalak
Zlandicar
Lord Yelinak
Statue of Rallos Zek
Avatar of War
Dain Frostreaver IV
King Tormax
Tunare
Dracoliche
Cazic Thule
Gozzrem
Lendiniara the Keeper
Telkorenar
Dozekar the Cursed


This would give each guild 15 mobs (yes the ones outside are a bit more contested and harder but so be it) I think its a great compromise and will work wonders for guild relations.

Let me know what you guys think.

You're missing the point entirely of raiding in Everquest. Everquest is an incredibly easy game, and killing raid mobs is fairly trivial after you've done it a couple times. The only thing that keeps it fun in the long run is competition. Killing raid mobs is stupid-easy unless you have the time constraints that competition brings, making you have to make fast imperfect decisions.

Your proposal is the equivalent of proposing that the top NBA teams all agree to just take turns letting each other win every other game. It takes all the game out of it.

Yes, EQ is flawed and competition brings a lot of bullshit, but without it the game is nothing.

I do enjoy the days of having a raid scheduled at 6:30PM and we would raid from then to about 10-11PM, kill some mobs and camp out. Was awesome.

This game is also about cooperation; that's why we actually have a community here.

Im all for competition but there are ways to do it without stressing a VERY large portion of this games population out every week.

Why not rotate for 2 weeks and each guild takes an internal vote?

Worst case, you get a break and go back to CoTHQuest afterward.
Best case, you enjoy it and tweak things going forward.
