Default Dear Rogean/Nilbog, Take away Velious raid content

Remember this front page post? http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=131586

Raid Scene
It continues to be an aggravating realization among CSR staff that 10% of the server population causes 90% of the problems. We are all for competition, but it needs to be fair competition. We are also all here for the same thing, to experience classic Everquest. The same guild monopolizing raid content for 2 years that they might not even need anymore is ridiculous, just to block other guilds from the chance of gearing up to take on the same end game content.

I was thinking to myself the other day and I came to ask myself.. Are we providing this server to give people the arena to compete to such bitter extremes that it has resorted to taking every absolute measure to be victorious, or are we here to provide a classic Everquest experience for everyone to enjoy?

A lot of you make fun of it in your own terms, but it really does come down to fighting over very old content.

Either way, we're tired of the constant bickering, the training, the ninja looting, and all the other bullshit that's going on. So here's what we're going to do.

Starting today and then evaluated when Velious is released the CSR staff will be keeping track of how the raid guilds are treating each other. If we do not see a significant improvement in the behavior of the raiding guilds and how they treat each other, Velious will be released without raid content. To be clear, we want an enjoyable raid scene for everyone, not just one or two guilds. This means working together to figure out a compromise when racing for mobs, and working with smaller guilds to let them have a chance at mobs you don't absolutely need for gearing main characters.

Don't think that this means you can continue shitting on each other and just not petition, the staff will still be watching.
Nothing has changed. Years later, the same couple guilds are shitting on each other for meaningless pixels under new guild names.

I recommend taking away Kunark raid content as well, these manchildren will fight over any irrelevant pixels.

Wiping Blue/Red clean might be the only other option for a true classic experience.

Sorry there isn't a nice safe ringfenced rotation for you to come back to and exploit. Are you one of the guys that's moving to Agnarr and doing it all over again, EQLite style? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If the CSR staff wanted people to retire from velious more quickly they wouldn't have cut the loot on almost every mob in half.

What's wrong Kushi, is phinny starting to get boring? Not surprised BDA is still actively trying to change the raid scene on p99 to fit their play style. At least your showing intelligence, looking for a new home for your guild to go to after leaving that "soon to be dead" server. Good luck on your quest!

Sirken needs to implement a Three Strikes Your Out rule, regarding raiders and raid guilds that repeatedly keep breaking raid rules.

When a guild is suspended due to infractions involving raid rules, each member earns a "strike" on every character on their account that has that guild tag.

Once a character accrues three strikes, that character is wiped clean and delevelled to level 1.

I am confident this would eliminate a lot of the fuckery that goes on.

That would shut down the raid scene altogether.

People need to stop thinking that adding more rules/stipulations is the fix for the raid scene. It definitely needs something, but giving competing guilds more ammunition to fire at each other isn't going to solve the problem.
