Is it something wrong with me?
This raid ban hardly upset me, in fact I am more happy for TSS Aegis and Kittens.

There will never be toxicity when there is no competition. The toxicity started when Riot started losing mobs and were upset that 2 of their favorite people left and "betrayed" them. They had an overwhelming disdain for Freedom from day 1. This is what causes toxicity, not killing everything uncontested for 9 months. Blame me all you want but it takes two to tango.
Now, ya see, Detoxx, this is what happens when you interrupt an angry monkey beating off. . .

However, just because no one is saying anything doesnt mean that what was going on for 9 months wasnt toxic. Riot had too much control. There shouldn't be the type of control there was on this server going on. Picking and choosing who gets to raid and who is banished from raiding is the very definition of toxic. That type of control kills a servers population.

Wow, what a sh!t show! I leave for a few weeks to relax at the beach and this is what I come back to?

The way to actually fix the raid scene is an easy concept, though I doubt server admins would want to put in the work to do it.

1. Use the "Guild Hall" mechanic to "Instance" ToV, VP, etc based on guild tag you get thrown in to that instance.
But have the instances linked so when Dragon A pops in Guild A's instance it also Pops in Guild B's instance, also when Dragon A dies in Guild A's instance it "Poofs" in Guild B's instance no matter if it is engaged or not.

2. Use the mechanic to restrict spells like no Levitation in said zone, to disable CoTH in ToV.

3. If you log out anywhere in ToV when you log back in you are back at the "Safe Spot" zone in to prevent camping forces at different engage spots.

4. Use the CT / Fear mechanic to "Repop" all "non raid" mobs in ToV when a Dragon spawns. Simultaneously send every character in the zone to the zone "Safe Spot".

5. Perma Root and allow Summon at 100% some of the mobs throughout ToV to prevent kiting / training.

This would force each guild to "Race" and clear from zone in to kill said Dragon, without training each other. Also forcing people to play the game as it was intended.. as a Dungeon Crawler.

You could also have a ToV that was non Instanced that allowed everyone into it, decided by which Spire you clicked on outside ToV.

This would prevent Leap Frogging, training, petitions and also allow guilds to do HoT whenever they wanted, but keep "competitive racing" alive.



Also if you behave like this.. perma ban

Boohoo you didn't get enough people to log in to kill the dragon, so you train the guild that did?

Counterpoint: Launching 2 new servers kills mature servers' populations.

maybe each of these guilds need to change their leaderboard.

I am pretty sure that most of the people among those 3 guilds coming along very well to each other.

I would normally agree with you, but I have a lot of friends in riot and some I've played with for 8+ years, others even longer but since retired.

Riot as a whole has this weird echo chamber to it, where it tells its members everything they do is above board, and everything else outside is evil/malicious etc. Reality is everyone is as dirty as each other (or as clean as each other). It's weird to have conversations daily now with people I know to be normal rational folks sucking the kool aid teet. For the most part in freedom it's been a lot less melodramatic and not seeded with misinformation.

The UN has gone amazingly quiet now it is public viewing. It's pretty funny to read through months and months of UN to see more often than not Detoxx (for all his past) is the reasonable one. Sadly not enough input from people who aren't emotional or irrational though.
