Instance zones and allow each guild to do every target once per week. Guilds can decide when they do each raid target. Can allow more guilds to get decent items, see content and have fun. Also give more RL time to all Raiders. No need to poop sock, etc..

Everyone not in the 3 guilds suspended is under a glass ceiling imposed by the big 3 (especially one of them, you know who you are). You've eliminated most of the competition through monopoly and zerging. There's still a massive, massive number of players out there who aren't in those 3 guilds, have their pre-raid gear list complete, play 40 hours a week, and can hardly get any gear beyond HoT pieces without joining the elitists (if you don't think 40 hours/week is enough to 'deserve' good loot then you are the definition of an elitist, as you are clearly in a 'privileged' enough position to either not have a family, ignore your family, or not have a job).

Instances or server split (half the population gets their characters ported to a Blue clone) seem like the best options to me, but that just requires more work for the devs, which I don't really want to see either. Perhaps you can recruit an EZ server dev, bc they have a solid instance system.

Fundamentally, one person hit the nail on the head when they suggested that the number of level 60 'mouths to feed' are excessively high. We may just need less people on the server overall.

Guilds are internally tagged with a ###

with a bit of work couldn't guild leaders or officers of guild403 do /instance and get a zone403 for 403 guild that exists for a week?

The only loss from instancing I see is the toxicity. Anyone arguing for 'muh classic' is just trying to mediate as much as possible the natural occurrence of social friction while pretending that's not what they're doing.

by the way the amount of people suggesting instancing is the same feeling I got when legalization was happening

I doubt instancing is on the table. You should probably just ignore it as a solution.

You should ignore anything that requires a patch or changing game code. The only thing really on the table is new player agreements with the GM's as oversight. No one indicated that Rog/Nil were interested in being involved in solving shit for us.

psuedo instancing is the actual answer tho
Yup. It's 2020, we are all 35ish now. Let's do this. Blue only.

Also imagine how little CSR support is needed with this solution.

Well it seems we are down to:
1)Full rotations
2)Instancing(Devs may have said not gonna ever happen)
3)FTE lockouts

I think leaders need to get together with GMs see which of these solutions they would actually approve, if it’s only one we have our answer if it’s two or three let’s try each out for a month then have vote on which to keep or let GMs decide which they prefer and let’s move on with the Dragon killings. At this point we are beating a dead horse and our stubbornness to try these new things is preventing us from raiding on the game we all love.

You can do partial rotations too, its not impossible. Its even been done before, we've rotated Tunare, RW, Sleepers, there was even a brief Vulak rotation during the Jorl stand off days earlier this year. Rotating the most petition happy encounters doesn't mean you have to rotate every single thing all the way down to Yael and Kozz.

So get the fuck out with this "well its full rotations or instances or lockouts, no other choices I guess!" bullshit. We get it, Freedom wants FTE lockouts. We'll see if AG and Riot let you have them or not.
