Like always... IMO

No it wouldn't. TMO raided uncontested for so long and it kept going fine. There will always be people with characters willing to kill Dragons. Besides you still would have 2 weeks of your competition if you want it. With the rules your guild leader is asking for. So make a compromise to get those rules.

But..but...but.. I like Everquest....

And yes, what Rezzie said, its about beating the other guild.. not the dragon. The dragon is the gravy.

It was funny how quick we got Ogee's mage his as well just to give that guy the middle finger.

“Competition is why most high end guilds exist”

Would be so much better here without you, though, for the majority of people. There should be an autistic/no life server and a regular member of society/has a family server.

very few participate meaningfully in the "competition", the rest vacantly repeat the lie for loot expedience

I’ll GM alongside Cucs. We can fix it.

I'm ok with this. All in favour?

Just make all the raid zones PvP while the big targets are spawned. Should make things interesting.

ive heard this argument from close friends even. what about the 16 hour variance that you have to deal with until the fun? is it worth it

Well typically there tends to be 15-30 mobs in window simultaneously, and mobs don't all usually spawn within the last minute of their window.

Sure, there are occasional lulls where you're just standing around waiting for something to happen, but we aren't standing there in silence staring at a wall: we have guild chat, a lively Discord/TeamSpeak, and a DJ channel to have a laugh between the chaos.

This is all a lie. AM eats babies to make Vulak spawn.

Srsly, there are guilds thay compete and go for top end mobs that refuse to sock like that. I’m in one of them. We compete on our terms and in our windows and don’t ever sit for a 16 hour window. If someone doesn’t want that experience, there are plenty of guilds available for them, including some in the middle ground between a leveling guild and AM/TP.

Personally, because it is less about the challenge of killing the dragon and more about the challenge of beating another guild to it.

And therein lies the problem with the playerbase of this server... at any given time, there's 1000 normal, considerate people online who are playing to experience content, and about 100-200 sociopaths who derive their fun from going to extreme lengths to deprive others of that content.
