g15s and macro programs cant do everythin tho, only spam a certain button/click correct?

So the 30 mins afk timer is based on your /loc if you dont move from any given /loc for 30 minutes this would boot you to char select. You can macro up and down all you want but theres always that chance of lag hitting and your macro putting you in a dangerous situation that you really wouldnt want to risk. Safe spot in fear? lag up and walk to far, agro and wipe your guild, GG.

I actually like the 30 min afk boot option if the Devs were willing to add it, tho its not classic.

g 15 is fully customizable macros

in wow i had mine queue for BG, click the enter battle button, then move around a couple of squares every now and then so i could AFK honour.

if you put in a kick after idle for xyz, it will just be macros that stop it from kicking in. its hell easy to do.

Yea but the thing is, how many able campers per guild has a g15 or comparable keyboard? Im gonna say not enough to keep the numbers. And as always a lag spike at the wrong time can make some bad results.

You dont HAVE to have a g15, it just makes it easier. We had programs that can do anything for you if you can write the code. We used them for Darkfall to insta loot pvp corpses.

The macro problem would be rampant.

BTW Xz,

Love your ideas to move the raid targets. One of the only issues i can see is aoe's and aggroing other mobs.

A fear from the stone spider room for naggers would mess with BnB groups, and enough spiders/beetles can kill any raid force while they are fighting a dragon.

Love the idea, just any implementation of it seems like it would suck for naggy

I didnt mean you actually had to fight them there....just that if you wanted to camp or have a claim you need to have moved there or been sitting there. I think it works great to deter a camp...I dont really know about racing to those spots though...shrug maybe we can conjure up some ideas

Agreed. But people wont sit there i dont think. there are ways around any system i guess.

WTB first to engage variance ffa tbh, except that will mess things up too with rogues/monks/necros just getting first aggro on crap by sitting/fding on spawn points

rogues/necros/monks? how about paladins sitting on the spawn point with a raid behind him? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

hint. it was a mythoxxus joke.

So, one thing I remember doing in Classic EQ, which expanded into Kunark, Luclin, PoP, etc, was dividing high end spawns on a rotation, and then taking the lower end ones and making them a mobile first to encounter FFA. So if you were to rate them on a scale, for instance Inny and CT on rotation, and the rest on a first to encounter FFA it gives you the best of both worlds I think. I didn't read through the entire thread, because I'm new and I don't know the drama, but I think asking for GM interference on things is just a little much. People should be mature enough to allow the guild with the first actual encounter on a boss to have their attempt. Isn't that what it comes down to anyway?

EDIT: I guess you would put the entire plane on Rotation? I'm not sure on the logistics of it all.
