This would ensure that tmo/fe aren't just trading mobs each week, makes things stay competitive, and gives everyone a shot.

So far that's the idea I like the most. But we're letting you guys work it out. We greatly encourage making the players figure out player stuff.

Agreed, 100%. I think any rules made by the players and enforced by the players should be kept simple.

Rule: When a guild kills a target, they are forbidden to engage that target in the first 2 hours of spawning, for the next 2 spawns.

Less complicated, the better.

I like the idea of open of VP raids on casual week. Probably the best way to get guilds to play nice with each other is to have them.. play with each other. Guilds are very much gated communities. There's practically no interaction needed to play like we have been. Would be cool to hang out with some old friends.

I like the one week a month idea, but taking it further, I propose Casual Weekends. Any raid mob that spawns on the weekend is left up for casuals. Casuals probably don't want to raid or track during the week anyway. That comes to 8-10 days per month, so that's slightly more than the 1 week a month proposition. Could even make it just the first 3 weekends or just Casual Sundays (4-5 days a month) if hardcores don't want to make an 8-10 day concession.

Then it's just a matter of claiming what your guild is, if it's casual or if it's hardcore. Everyone who wants a rotation can do it on the weekends when they're more likely to play anyway. And the hardcores can still do their 4am Tuesday morning batphone races. We can make the rule if you kill a mob during the week, you're excluded from the weekend and vice-versa.

Could even switch the Sky Rotation around to accomodate this too, give the hard cores their choice of weekend slots, so that they're still raiding those days. Also, I'd leave VP out of the concessions.

Of course you like that, it means you (bda) would get one out of 3 targets, taking any need to race for mobs out of the equation. Not gonna happen.

Without GMs interfering in some way to change game mechanics, the top guilds need to agree to completely leave some mobs for others (nag vox tal sev gore 1/2 Fay 1/2 inny 1/4 trak 1/3 ct Draco etc for example) to raid, while keeping the race on other mobs.

Lol @ casual weekends and 1/3 every mob.

I, for one, welcome our BDA overlords.

Or Sundays I said, which is either 2/7, or 1/7, 28% or 14% respectively. Or for just the first 3 weekends, which is 6 out of 28 days at the most 21% or 6 out of 31 at the least 19%. The 1 week a month is not far off from this with a total of 22% to 25% of mobs conceeded.

Lol @ 1/4 of all mobs

1/4 of all mobs to be left up for 90% of the server is kind of laughable, but not in the way you think.

It's called trying to kill dragons. No one wants to try anymore
