Alter End-Game Mechanics

You really are that ignorant... Even for casual guilds it only takes 15ish people to kill Draco and Maestro. TMO could keep 25 at Trak and still dispatch 15 for Maestro and Draco simultaneously. TMO would also go for Maestro first, Draco second, and Trak third because Maestro is the most heavily contested and easiest to get. Draco is the second easiest to get, and no other guild could muster the forces to kill Trak before TMO logged back over and engaged Trak. I can't believe your ignorance in the end-game raid scene to even suggest otherwise.

It's not that simple in reality, though.

We did wipe out of hate a couple maestros ago, and that wasn't splitting forces.
We did wipe out on trak a couple weeks ago, and that wasn't splitting forces.
I don't recall a wipe to draco lately, but that train can be tricky and if it gets loose it can take a while to get into kill-ready state again, I guess.

Shit happens, ya know? And that's why I said it would be risky to split forces 3 ways on this hypothetical repop, assuming that the other guilds were all present with decent raid forces too.

This is no different than the 3-day idea. TMO would camp at VS because he's an easy and also high priority target. Then they would go get Inny (who has the best shot at dieing to another guild). Third would be CT due to his high priority. TMO will get a train going, and will drop that train on any other guild who engages CT (I've seen it happen for both CT and Draco). After CT, they'd go for the Kunark dragons, probably Faydedar (if he hasn't been killed by anyone who decided not to go for CT) while the CT guild still CRed from their train. After Faydedar, TMO would head to Talendor or Severilous, then the other, and finally Gorenaire (who probably wiped the other guilds first and only attempt). Finally, after they've swiped up every pop except 2-3 (tops), they'd stroll into VP to claim their free loots because the competition is over.

Again, do you think TMO would split 3 ways to contest a few outdoor dragons and leave VS and the gods up?



Also, what do you have to say about the "everything respawns at some point within a 1-hour window, but not necessarily simultaneously within that window" idea? Wouldn't that address the whole issue of camping out at the highest target and then proceeding through mobs in a certain order?

Hypo: TMO logs in at trak ledge. Trak's not up. BDA has 50 people on ledge also. Inny is up. Fay is up. Taken has 30 in hate clearing to Inny. Divinity has 20 in oasis waiting on raft. What's going to happen? Hell if I know. But I bet TMO isn't going to clean sweep the server.
