The only competition I've seen on this server is the competition to see which guild can collect as many losers as possible. All your skills consist of are getting 60 people online at 5am to kill a dragon, and convincing scores of people with no life to spend their days sitting in Trak lair.

And we can pretty much /thread and lock it here.

i think we should set a rotation of pvping for mobs.

I think yaaaflow is right, Hasbinbad wasn't taking a shot at us, he was just referring to the one time in server history when a rotation actually existed. Although the comment was pretty confusing (I'm now the 6th reply discussing it?)

As for actually puting in a rotation, wasn't every raid guild interested in it at one point except for TR? I thought I heard TMO was interested in a rotation but I could be mistaken. Obviously TR/TMO have the most to loose if a rotation is put in place, however they will gain more FREE TIME to do stuff IRL, and still be able to take down a good amount of raid bosses. Assuming the rotation would be weighted so TMO/TR would get the majority of bosses. We could even arrange it so TR gets all the odd hour bosses since they have a big European membership. The server would be a peaceful PvE utopia.

So how about it? wouldn't you guys like to have some more free? less drama and BS?

Lol, they do NOT care about that. Anything which results in less raid loot for them in unacceptable. There will never, ever, be a rotation on this server for targets the top guild or two are interested, period - unless it was GM mandated or something. Hell, variance was put in place in the first place to suit the top raid guild or two, neverminding how it hurt tier 2 guilds. Variance suits the poopsock guilds, not the others. That's why live servers were more likely to go to a rotation - because everyone knows the spawn times (or roughly when), and it was a needed compromise.

So yeah - server rules were changed to suit the tier 1 guilds. Not the other way around. Even broke their "WE ONLY DO CLASSIC" ruleset for them. Tier 2 guilds are not cared about in that regard.

Just cause there was a rotation on your server doesnt mean its classic, on my server there was no rotation, at least not when i played and a lot of other server didn't have a rotation. I dont see the point in uncontested raiding, expecially since the most eq mobs aren't even hard if you dont have competition. I'd prefere EQ2 raiding over EQ1 raiding with rotations, the only reason i want to raid eq1 is every boss is contested. A rotation removes that. Server rules were not changed to suit the top guilds, they were changed (i assume you talking about the variance?) to avoid huge clusterfucks, which didnt happen on live for other reasons.

Oh wow, this thread again.

Don't want to invest time camped out? Think it wastes too much of your time? Want to kill dragons on project 1999?

Suggest rotations.

so it all boils down to " whoever poppsocks more is better than the others"

i actually dont give a damn atm bout the raiding scene, but you guys seem to enjoy blocking others from content more than u actually enjoy playing the game at all.
Not sure , but every mob has been killed 12y ago already, most people here play for nostalgie and fun, yet you guys think it shows how superior you are if u are able to have Trak or whatever on lock down.

If ur rly wanna have a contest about mobs u should consider the pvp server when he pops up, there u can have contested mobs and actually show skills to get shit done instead of just fucking others over because u have the time to poppsock and do so.

FWIW - I wasn't playing the "ON MY SERVER!" card. I just don't see what there is to contest hehe.

And yar, I was talking about variance put in. It seems to me like the clusterfucks still happen, so not sure it's working. Maybe it's better than it was originally, but I only have tales to go on.
