No one is debating that TMO/IB don't 'earn' their VP pixels....they certainly put in more time than everyone else. Myself, Raev and others just openly question why the Staff is so gunhoe to 'rewarding' that form of dedication over simply focusing on the mechanics of the raid scene and how it functions with the entire playerbase....not just the top 5% of the neckbeards. I mean I am pretty damn neckbeardy myself, been here since 2009....I have 3 lvl 60s, and 2 lvl 50ies all raided out n shit yet I cant hold a candle to some of the top percenters. I am sure there are plenty very similar to myself and its just an interesting platform to take. Class R does not want VP handed to them at all. But if the cream is suppose to rise to the top then its just peculiar that there are so many fail safe filters ced cream has to pass tru to get there rather than just letting it happen. | |||

![]() I'd rather work (raid) smarter - poopsocking for 16 hours is akin to working a double shift at McDonalds and KFC. Sure it's effort, but it doesn't mean you really used skill to accomplish anything.

There are quite a few people on this server who would like to see a full rotation on everything. I think that would be rather boring. If this server had 8 repops a month and was full FFA, your paragraph would actually make sense. The people that geared/leveled/improved coordination would do well, and those that did not would suck. Also, there is no question in my mind that IB and TMO are in general better at that coordination than the R guilds. I was in IB for a while and its a well maintained ship with some nice people. I just didn't like the timesinks - it was jav spamming at the time. | |||

the failsafes I am referring to are the facts that there are even protected Class C spawns outside of VP. Since it was determined that over 90% of the FFA mobs would go to Class C guilds ( hardest working thus obtain more FTE pixels ) then a more realistic representative cycle for such a play style would be are simply FFA, with no protected C mobs outside of VP. Since most casual scum guilds dont want to put the effort required to bag those mobs, these would not even be that heavily contested anyway but the fact remains right now there are a whole slew of mobs which are protected and can only be competed for by 2 guilds. I get it, Class R guilds were getting 0% and the 30% we are getting now is seen as a 'gift', but from a mechanic standpoint it makes sense that Class C guilds are so advanced and they derive all their fun from beating others than they should be eager for that type of challenge ( no more Class C spawns outside of VP, only FFA ) Since this idea will be laughed at or seen as absurd, the next logical idea from a mechanic standpoint has been the other popular cut the FFA out of the cycle and have FFA only active on earthquakes but again Class C does not see any potential for this type of game play. They prefer having protected spawns. Obviously Class R also prefers having protected spawns, who wouldnt, but R is the restricted class that needs as much help as it can get. The protected spawns are also more limited and as Sirken said last night before Stream got wonky " you are not suppose to retire your guild to Class R and live there". I am kinda rambling now hmm lunch | |||

![]() Wipe it and split it. A rotation server for those that come from servers with a history of rotation, and a FFA server for those that come from servers with a history of FFA.
