Actaully, even though I don't think it's right that red vs. blue always comes into play (both have merits) this actually would solve your problems.

No more poopsocking, it would be a massive war.

I know you guys don't like the idea of pvp in this game but just imagine trying it out for a bit. If Rog can turn pvp on in a single zone when a mob is in dispute.

because there's competition now so they're "forced" to poopsock (both TMO/TR). if you miss out on a few dragons and don't see the same amount of loot you used to you quickly start to notice the flaws in the system. guilds tend to turn to dick-ish behavior where they can capitalize on any single advantage they can get; example: leaving your PC on and your character logged in in a particular zone so you can respond to the batphone faster.

basically boils down to "if they do it then we have to do it too in order to stay competitive because they have X advantage" but in reality they both hate the fact that they're "forced" to do it so they bitch and moan on the forums.

Loke, you're being a dick. He has an extremely fucking valid point and so does Uthgaard. They're tired of fucking babysitting you douchemonkeys every time a raid mob spawns because you're so greedy and competitive and have created a top-end raid scene that even you have a hard time enjoying. If i were uthgaard I'd despawn and delete any loot that drops every time there is a petition that could have been resolved before the thing spawned. You have no idea how many times I've sent tells to you fuckholes before a potential problem only to be completely fucking ignored or even get back a asshole response. Considering who the officers are in the two respective guilds I'm going to assume that shit still happens quite frequently. Somehow you sound pissy that uthgaard has a problem? or that chica doesn't know why the problem wasn't seen/solved before? are you fucking serious? it's the same issue that you've dealt with on both sides of the battlefield and I'm getting the vibe that you're upset that uthgaard has to delete loot after you've wasted days of your time... well, that's not his problem but yours. and it's been your problem for years now

This is server chat ban this tool

I'm telling ya. Raid targets respawn in an hour. Problem solved. Eventually.

I think the only solution to your problem is that you all realize that its a EMU server of a what, 12? year old game. Game being the key word. You dont have to poopsock or track for hours upon hours because you know what, it doesnt give you anything at all - pixels dont have some hidden value. Learn to prioritize m8s!

There are plenty of things on this server that arent classic. Changing raid bosses to random timers wont make them any less classic. You'll have to mobilize for them instead of sitting afk 2 boxing a character on red69.

Tek, see Nele's comment below.



There's quite a bit of hang up here as I see it.

1.) even if it went 1/1 for the coming weeks, as Nele says, it could be something like 40/8. Which means if 40x(1 to 3) teeth dropped, they have a HUGE head start on keys for VP. I think it would be a more amicable compromise to have other guilds get teeth for at least a little while before we went to a split situation because as it stands, they're(TR) will be the sole people in VP if other guilds don't get keys. Everyone wants to see the content and there's a limited number of keys-per-week. So it's hotly contested.

Just wait, it'll be the same in Sleepers Tomb.

2.) As the TMO officers see it, there's no reason to change a winning strategy. Right now, as the members have become more motivated to kill trak, they have taken a higher % of the kills away from TR. 2 spawns ago was highly contested and the loot was split on a technicality (see Uth's logs for that stuff). If the guilds agree to not spawn sock and just race (not using the 15-man mob rule) then you'll be back to how it was at this previous spawn and 3 spawns ago, where everyone just races from the ledge. My understanding is that the reason it got to Spawn-Socking was due to the fact that there were only like ~6 hours left in Traks window, so everyone knew it was time to just sit and wait.

3.) Rotation is really hard when you talk about more guilds entering the picture. I'm not sure how many people Taken, Divinity, BDA actually have, but when do they get a chance? If they had a keen strategy and the right numbers, they might be able to take trak down now. I know TMO did it with 37 and I would think there are other guilds out there with more than 37 mobs.

I suppose you could say something like -- mob spawns, you have 1 hour to kill, if you wipe another group gets a try. I suppose, if someone signs up (say BDA) they try and wipe, then it becomes FTE like normal. It could work, but again, everyone wants to get to VP and it's going to be hard to convince the leading-teams to share until more keys are spread about. I think that's what makes EQ so addictive and appealing to most people is that it's not hold-your-hand easy like WoW or anything else that has instanced encounters.

1) ok yea you're right since TR has had such a huge advantage before the merge..can't help ya there then.

3) honestly, there shouldn't be a rotation besides TMA/TR as of now, no one else can take on Trak unless all the tier 2 guilds unite (bda, taken, vd, div)..and honestly, the tier 2 guilds would be more happy being able to catch up killing pre-kunark bosses and the other ones TMA/TR aren't focusing on. I mean, I would more than satisfied getting a CT/Inny kill right now than joining the trak race. it's just unfortunate that if you're not TMA/TR, you're just really really really far behind on loot and there really ain't nothing you can do about it because you will get outzerged by TMA/TR. but hey that's just me and i can't speak for the rest of the tier2 guilds

I laugh to think at the kind of hardcore freaking drama this server would have if it had 1700-2000 people active during peak hours.
