Raid Petitions / GM CS - Page 7

I actually like Giegue's idea a lot. It not only fixes hard-to-determine FTE with eyes and pets, but it also solves issues like kiting. If someone is running dragon x around with a bard, the other guild can just nuke him with a wizard and claim him.

More simulated patch day repops will help the with the mental health of p99s raiding guilds...and it's classic. FTE should still be implemented imo but if a mob is down to <18 hours left or so, thats when it starts getting really socky. Maybe different rules to address late spawns?

As much as I hate variance, I think I would actually prefer full variance to partial variance, i.e. all mobs in window all the time or equivalently Nagafen with 0-14 days of respawning rather than 7 +/- 3.

My big point here is that the players and GMs need to sit down and work out a better system for when to repop mobs and how to decide who wins. We can do better than what we have right now.

I can't think of a guildleader or guide/GM that would be against the raid encounter automatically giving us the one piece of information we need to police ourselves instead of having to bother staff to pull server logs to determine FTE.

This has been suggested months ago and ignored.

well i know many will dislike what i am gonna say but i believe to basically eradicate all the poopsocking (wich is retard imo) you will have to make all raid mobs variance change to 1H to 7 days.
I know this will add a few more items , and i know it will piss all the players tracking mobs over and over but unless the mob is hitting the last part of his window (wich should be rare) , you won't be able to poop it .... unless you decide to skip many others raid targets. And without poopsocking you barely have rarely 2 guilds (or more) sitting in a spot waiting to FTE it.

ps : this is a personnal idea not reflecting what my guild , guildleadership or members believe.

Could just have leaders of each raid force random for the opportunity to fight.

set standards for size of raid force allowed to random upon spawn... if nobody is there and its a rush.. then first come first serve

of course there will be mouthbreathers who don't want to random and just engage.. but i think a round of suspensions would help people see that there are actually rules on the server.. not that i expect that to ever happen >_>

either way i say there should be rules... or there shouldn't be rules... not some inbetween loosely enforced rule set.

I'll reiterate:

GM decisions are unfair.
They don't care.
Don't like it then don't play.
They really don't care either way.

They literally just read from encounter logs who aggroed first. That's about as objective as you can get.

yah pretty objective i would say

but i don't think its the best way to play an mmo lol... hundreds of people spamming open air.. or more likely auto fire botting to get FTE

I think it would be much better if people randomed before hand then gave space to the guild that won first shot at the raid target.
