It's Time to Start Allowing for Open Naggy/Vox Raids (open letter to Raiders)

[skarlorn]

Detoxx kindly replied to my PM and has stated that AM doesn't actively go after Vox.

I'll do some outreach tomorrow to the remaining small guilds. Once we get those bases covered, I'll need someone to help me put a post in Raid Discussion; preferably someone who is willing to help organize/lead this event. PM me if you want to take this responsibility. (depending on the time of the first open Vox I may or may not be able to attend; I'm more interested in getting this organized from a community perspective than leading the nerd raid)

Then it will just be a matter of projecting out spawns based on timers and setting up an agreed upon Vox [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I personally would like to see bards getting epics over the scale being sold every time. Since that's the only real reason to go for vox really.

Nagafen is obviously a whole different story since he has a bladestopper and prayers.

I think Kittens would be agreeable to something like this as long as its fair. Personally, I'd like to see a proper clear and classic'esque engage from the entrance. If nobody is competing then bringing in level 60's to clear it is cheese. Show people the zone, let them fall in the pit if they don't pay attention and give them a proper raid instead of a gear farm. This type of stuff is good for the server. Anything that makes people (raiders) take a step back and realize that this is just a video game is generally a positive thing.

However, Kittens do not have raid forum access so discussing it there means we either have to have our input posted for us or we get to just agree / disagree to whatever everyone else decides on. It would be nice to see someone just create a discord server and give every guild 2 or 3 invites.

i think just /ran for droppables, no drop restricted to class. keep it simple

i know if this happens, and it was a greed roll, almost everyone in my guild would give the scale to their most beloved bard.

it'll find it's way to a bard. there are many bards (myself included once upon a time) sitting on hundreds of k of plat to try and buy one.

at least in this scenario, there is a chance it will find its way to a bard (be it one who swarmed thousands of gobbos for plat, or one with enough friends to be given from someone who won) and not some L52 epic'd vox/naggy alt army that only makes the barrier of entry more difficult.

I agree that any droppable items should be rolled for by everyone at the raid, including a white scale. Or else you're going to have people arguing how only melee should roll for RBB etc. Anyone can use 300k+, and like mentioned before, the odds are good that the scale will end up in the hands of a bard anyway.

Open raid/open loot. make the raid all-inclusive so everyone has a chance to have fun.

Yep, plus I guarantee there is a hell of a lot more 53+ bards with no epic than there are 46-52 bards. And the only way those bards are getting a shot at that scale is bringing an alt to roll for it, and there's no way those bards have naggy/vox bard alts lol.

Two 60 bards and a naggy/vox bard. The man is committed to his craft.
