A matter of opinion, fear without leapfrogging would be like instanced raiding.

You're not getting my point.

This is unrelated, but since people are talking about CT, why does he have variance? Maybe I'm underestimating the dedication of certain guilds on this server, but would people honestly try to poopsock him even if the whole zone was going to pop on top of them?

happened before, so yes, they will. variance is unrelated to the poopsock issue

What would other raid targets without leapfrogging be like?

Or Baseball.. Or Apple Pie... Or touching a women without paying for it first. Instanced raiding was introduced into MMORPGs simply to allow ppl to BOTH raid and avoid the anti social pyschopaths who raged with such fervor they might be tempted to seek out a dead game 10 years into the future to rekindle the closest thing to meaning their life ever held.

For the record, lets just do 1 of two things.

1. ) one week blackout. just pull the plug on the server. GMs can fix issues and mess with working on the server unimpeded. Everyone else can go watch Matlock or hit the beach or whatever. See the sun.

2. ) One week blackout on GM involvement. Just let the raiding go Lord of the Flies. Anything goes. You wanna train someone? Fine. You wanna team up with someone else to eff with guild 3? that's fine too.

Just let the server sort it out for itself. Just freaking sell popcorn and the FRAPS will be legendary.

Someone said earlier that on some live servers the guild that broke fear 'had claim to fear'. Well it was true on some servers. But it was because of "competition". If you wanted to zone in and try and leapfrog someone, their SKs and bards and monks would literally wipe anyone in your raid who couldnt FD clear out of the zone.

Which is about 100x closer to the spirit of competition than filling up socks over a spawn point anyways. Everyone seems so amped to 'compete' all of a sudden. Let it happen. Turn them loose. Completely.

Didn't most people just aoe clear fear after kunark/velious? Most guilds would just thank them for helping pull.

Leapfrogging is a new and exciting concept to me.
