Let's be real, the zerging will never stop. Even if the current zerg implodes somehow, another will form shortly after. People will always flock to team ez and conform.

Even if <Holocaust> implodes in time it will be a matter of degree. They won't lose so many they'll lose the guild...it's just be easier for adversaries to compete.

Shards of Dalaya hardcode capped the number of PCs that could be on aggro list for raid mobs. Guessing that would not be difficult to implement here but shit ain't classic...just like most everything else on this server.

unfortunately lite is an egotistical megalomaniac who will do his best to torpedo any effort to merge/ally with other guilds if he's not on top of the food chain and calling all the shots.

Not so sure about that. Lite's not stupid, lol. He has his faults but stupidity isn't one of them...being blinded by egomania != stupidity.

I think the hatred between Lite and Max is gonna be a tough one to tackle, tho.

Just get them higher in level and geared

I'm just saying the competition will be short lived and the herd will flock to the winning guild.

Flood zone in with level 1's, or level 50's, etc. for that matter. Doesn't matter. Bind them outside zone and have them run in to screw up loot.

Other side of it. Have 70 available for raid, camp all but 15 before dragon dies, everyone logs back in.

I think the OP is good idea in concept but impossible to implement. I think Kergen pointed out that people could sabotage the effort. The idea is not to get the loot but to ruin another guilds chances out of spite and malice.

The idea of instances was a joke I am sure... So I wont bite that one.

To be honest I believe the only valid solution was posed by Agatha regardless if he played in a 'zerg' because that was the only real option for him to have fun.

I know for a fact that there are many people who would volunteer to be guides / GM's and that given a good number of them could police themselves. I know for a fact that both Blue and Red populations would rise if such a solution was put in place.

But there must be something I am missing. With such an easy solution and no end of volunteers, why is it not already so? I would love to hear why it wouldn't work or how it was already attempted and failed.

Computer code is not the answer, at least not for P99. Not enough devs or income streams to really make something like that work.

I believe community and manpower is the answer.

I had this dream one time

but its clear that the staff does not care about zerg mentality

if they did, they wouldnt let holocaust do what nihilum did

which is slowly kill the high end guild v guild pvp scene

maybe one day tho.

How to stop caring is the real question that should be asked.

To clarify. I said I know for a fact, but I only know that I have read many posts over the years of folks volunteering to step in and help.

Would they really give up playing on the server they were a guide on? Put their time where their mouth is? Would they really be able to be impartial and not bicker about corruption and really police themselves?

Maybe I am naive for believe so, but I think its worth a shot considering so many, many people want something to happen on both blue and red.
