Raid Scene - A RnF Repost

[dcrag]

I remember once, in classic, a GM zoned into sleepers tomb and very clearly stated the only thing they would ever intervene on would be exploitation of game mechanics. Can we do that?

Actually now that I think about that was sullon zek, not the best idea.

GM enforced rotations are not a good idea. People will just park alts in the guilds that are rotating to avoid the restriction. So basically mains get deferred over alts.

False. GM's can check pretty easily as to who owns characters. There has already been the type of rotation on this server before that I mentioned. It was called Class R. It took very little GM involvement except for them to have a page as to which class could currently kill the mob.

Not at all. It is the best solution for a healthy server.

People only being able to go after targets 2 weeks every month? Yeah, that would never fly.

I do enjoy the server's obsessions with "this should be changed" or "we should make this a rule"...

Server needs no rules, wild west

It would be the perfect balance for everyone and cause less work for server staff in general in policing it. I don't care how selfish people are. That is a discussion for another thread.

It worked for over a year. But this is nothing like that anyway. That was just an example.

Wut? Class R worked pretty well in terms of allowing the masses to experience content.

The class system had its issues but it was far better than the current system. It gave casuals realistic chances to kill dragons, while saving neckbeards from their greed by removing a third of the windows they had to cover.

You cant fully fix the raid scene on p99 anymore it's just gone too far, but the class system is a decent attempt at creating a solution for two very different playstyles.
