You know what would actually be funny? If a certain percentage of trash or a majority of the guards were killed by guild A, guild B members would get banished into lava or randomly thrown into HoT if they engaged the dragon within a certain time frame of trash or guards being killed.
Make dragons AoE death touch people waiting to snipe FTEs during trash clears!

Good idea!

Turn blue into the competition server. Players who like that stuff can stay here. People who like classic can play green.

Close the red server for the resources.

Nuggie,

The dragons were never rooted on live during this era. It was never designed that way. During Luclin and PoP we were still pulling the dragons around NTOV with farm crews. Some of them even came to the zone in during the Velious era (Eashan/Ikatar).

And I said 100+. Right now the current meta is to engage the dragons with multiple flurry drakes/guards at the same time with 100 people. This has made things pretty much impossible for smaller guilds, and has basically wiped them all out.

ToV dragons spawn 1 by 1, so we aren't just competing against 100+ man zergs, but the rules that led to their creation as well.

ToV can be cleared with 40-50 players in Kunark gear. Remember, most of these dragons can be slowed. For Vyemm/Vulak I'd probably want to have 50, but they are the exceptions not the rule. Most of the dragons in the zone can and were done with much less.

But you are also talking about Kunark gear... We are now 3 years into Velious.

And as far as the "petitionquest" stuff goes...

If its true that we don't have staff members willing to handle petitions 1 day a week for an EQ or simulated patch, then we should probably be looking into finding a couple more. We have thousands of people who love this game and play here. I can't imagine that being too difficult. I volunteered a few times already, but... ya =P

This post pretty easily proves your quote wrong, or misleading atleast depending on how the sentence could be spun.

You make it sound like this was the intent of rule design. If so, that's a wonderful opinion you have. Personally, I think the Riot meta is a response to years of taking it in the shorts by neckbeards. "You guys" (maybe not you personally) treating people like shit and getting kicks from denying people pixels created this monster. Enjoy it. Just an opinion. Could be wrong , of course.

Ummm ... I have absolutely no dog in your fight with Hyjal, but you do realize that link proves the opposite of what you just said? It's full of statements to the effect that the dragons were not rooted until Luclin (and Luclin is not "during the P99 era").

Quote:
All of the posts on ZAM referring to the dragons being perma-rooted don't start showing up until after May of 2002. The Shadows of Luclin expansion launched on Dec 4th 2001.
Quote:
This is correct. Each dragon in NToV is on their own timeline. By 2003, many were still not perma-rooted.

This post below from 10-Dec-2001 (6 days after Luclin release) describes dragons being summoned by Vulak, which means they were not rooted.

All repops happening via earthquakes is feasible and doable, it sorta screws casuals and people with families who need to plan schedules though.

*Two hands of cards and I am playing the other one atm..*

FTE, PNP, Work it out.. CSR are pussyfooting bullshit. You see me, I see you, We don't like eachother or you have some change at nice loot. Your ass is getting trained or KS'd. Gonna laugh at you and take screenshots of me teabagging your corpse.

Classic was like red server but can't directly attack. 20 years of players getting old and tired at life, no thrill of the hunt, no zest. Looking for their afternoon relaxation. Fuck that.

The thrill of a 3D world filled with anons without 20 years of humdrum lame gamer nonsense filling their souls full of useless bullshit. Get in there, fuck em up. Its just pixels. I bleed for them, you die for them.
