True, but I think it would be better for what rogean wants (more people raiding more targets more often, which is the 'everyone is happy' thing he is going for) if guilds have to pick what they engage each week. By default, if each week of raiding can only give a guild 2/3 of its current needs, then targets will change each week and raids can get different mobs.

This system lets the two top guilds keep every single valuable mob on lockdown for the entirety of the month before the points reset - which is kinda sorta just a little bit exactly what we have going on right now.

Not necessarily. They would have to leave stuff up over the middle of the month to do so. The points each raids get can and should be negotiated.

I don't mind the "no poopsocking" ie in-game presence, but I don't understand why I can't camp a toon near a target, that was the whole point on live of alts.

Lets also be able to pull VS to zone in again!

One of the biggest advantages a guild has is to stick alts on/near the spawn point of a mob. It is a capitulation towards casuals who do not have the means/want to do so. It curtails the effect of account buying that went on for so long. And I personally think that the race is the most exciting part of the kill.

I know a very limited number of people that bought alts that park them (maybe a dozen, tops). I know plenty of people that have leveled alts while mains were parked. When Kunark dropped i parked my enc and leveled flippie, then leveled necro etc etc. It's an advantage because people worked hard to earn that advantage and make the most of their playtime. So why not do the same, I'm sure many taken folk have been leveling alts while parking on Inny for the last month+ and they've had him locked down. That's why the 1-week-hands-off period seems entirely reasonable to me it gives a week where Cat A guilds wont touch anything thats high priority even after a time period or X # of wipes. You only have to track/compete/mobilize against like minded folk and not worry about anyones parked toons.

I felt that it would be a decent trade off if I left vp as a ffa zone. Which at current key levels is not a big bullet to bite for "casual" raiders.

It's the only proposal with a spreadsheet so far. Pretty sure that is an auto-win

I think that any point system would have to be weighted.
