P99 Sky Agreement - why its bad for the server

[Hyjalx]

Gotcha. Even though I don't particularly like the farm crews, they should have a say in this as well. This is Everquest, and rotations should be limited. It's what makes this game unique.

But given the logistics of Sky, rotating the zone definitely make sense so these same farm crews can't monopolize the higher islands, which they will most certainly try to do if the rotation broke down.

I am only suggesting making the sky rotation a bi-weekly thing only because this will not only open up plenty of slots for future guilds to enter sky, but it will also allow friends and other entities not part of the rotation to have more access to the zone.

That fact that people think its OK to say they someone should have to join a different guild to do Sky, is absolutely retarded.

What about the fact that you have to join a different guild to do Sleeper's Tomb? Veeshan's Peak? Kill Yelinak or Tormax? Is that "absolutely retarded" also?

This entire thread is absolutely retarded, that's for sure. 13 pages in and still not a single guild named that needs a sky slot (and for some reason can't take one of the 3 open slots), but we keep hearing "BUT WHAT IF A GUILD WANTS A SLOT?!?!!11"

If you want to raid sky, ask for one of the open slots or join a guild that has a slot. Otherwise you're complaining just to complain.

don't go to sky lol

1) A guild with a slot that doesn't go on their slotted time isn't punished for not going.
2) A guild that may or may not exist wants a slot, which there are 3 currently free ones.
3) A group or guild that may not want to deal with slots wants to not have to communicate with an entity who does have a time slot because reasons. (?)

To me the solution is simple - if you have a slot and don't go, you lose the slot. 3 strikes of the slot not being used and you're out. You can share the slot with other guilds without slots but maybe make a limit to how many times you can do that before you lose the privilege of owning it.
Don't have a slot? ask to rotate with another guild so the slot isn't left open. Or simply take over their slot by using communication skills.

Don't want any of that? Someone mentioned it earlier - open enrollment. Pick a block of time and now you're stuck with it until the block is over. No guild can have more than X number of slots over Y weeks.

red is toxic because the average IQ is roughly the same a highway speed limit (imperial not metric) and so they really don't know how to communicate like civilized beings

blue is toxic because every other asshole thinks they're moar woke and attempt to prove that

I like that.

Agreed,

Joining a player agreement that you are going to use sky every week, then habitually not using it, is breaking a player agreement and depriving other good p99ers of an opportunity to use the zone, which could be construed as monopolisation.

coverjudge stop revealing that you're an individual intimate with the ongoings of p99 raid scene on June 11th, 2018. it's a pathetic look.

I like that.

I'm not a guild leader/officer, so grains of salt are required, but I'm pretty sure that's how things have been working for the past two years, albeit in a less formal fashion. My guild leadership has definitely told us that "if we stop going to sky we'll lose our slot", and I would think most other guilds have the same understanding.

But again it's been less formal, so I think it's been less of a "you miss ___ times and you lose your slot", and more of a "no one cares what you do until someone else wants your slot, but if someone wants it and you haven't been going you lose it" (which is usually non-controversial because if you're not using your slot, you probably don't mind losing it).
