some, but left overs, they mobilize fast enough and can snap kill at a greater rate. we wouldnt be totally left out, but would have 1-2 mobs. max compared to 10
So, the complaint isn't that you aren't getting mobs, but that you aren't getting enough or the right ones... Got it.

An earthquake, at least if implemented with a warning, would allow you to pick a priority target. If you choose one that is highly contested, that is your gamble. If you can only secure "1-2" mobs, maybe next time you will do better. Maybe not.

Can also increase bans. 10 day seems weak in my opinion, losing a few cycles only. 30-day minimum.
This is why random jury system is pretty fucked up - youll poll from people who have ingrained innate bias towards another group and allow their predetrmined emotions to filter into the case without even looking at the evidence.

If you think a 30 day raid ban for a free game is 'fair' for a minimum punishment here taking into consideration most these violations are made up after examining hours of recorded Everquest raiding footage frame by frame, then you need to adjust your morale compass.

10 Day blanket raid ban has been the harshest penalty to date and its insane this is not enough blood for the casuals lol

Should we count the number of raid infractions that happened over the past few days? You act like A/A are the only ones who make mistakes. On the contrary, they are the only ones to petition each other.

Does the NBA ask Lebron to take some nights off so the Cav's opponents can have a better chance at winning once in a while?

You want the best product on the court - dont punish A/A because they chose to progress their guilds to the point of 24/7 contesting of spawns.

If lockouts,bag limits etc need to be used - thats their choice but to just cut them out of 1 weekend each month sounds pretty dumb. You would see those players start to seed their alts into other guilds just for the purpose of raiding when they are 'not allowed' on their professional toons lol.

Well, after greatly enjoying my time on P99 over this last weekend I figured I better come here and read the posts. Some of you know me, others Im sure don't have a clue who the hell I am or why they should even care about my opinion, I barely come to the Forums these days since they are generally toxic and cause division in our community via the RnFs section but I've been playing toons on P99 since Dec 2009 so I thought of it as my responsibility to come and absorb this post by reading everything, then give my two cents.

This weekend was a huge success for the community, content was even given out to guilds who weren't initially involved in the split, for those who think it was just 3 guilds controlling all the content you are wrong. CSG is an alliance of 3 guilds, FoH actually repesents Venerate and Anonymous as well on that list and Rustle stands alone but somtimes brings Infernus along for the ride and Big ups to them for doing so I say!

I've been in big / top guilds and competed here, tracked mobs and poopsocked for hours on end, sure there is a thrill in downing content as soon as it pops, being there first and claiming all the pixels for your guild, I can't deny that as someone who has partaken. However I don't think any of that can outweigh just hanging out and having fun with your friends, which is what happened this weekend for everyone in the endgame community with the exemption of our banned friends. Thats right, I call alot of A / A my friends.

If you don't think what happened this weekend was in the best interest of the server and our community I'm just befuddled by that train of thought, maybe I've been on P99 too long but its the only MMOrpg I want to play and I know I'm not the only one who feels that way. In short, I really don't understand why we can't make the server a better place where people without a competition mentality can enjoy the raid scene too.

Either way, see you at ToV next weekend mates ;D

this is really why we need publicly view-able raid petitions - gets a lot harder to make shitty disingenuous claims when those claims and the evidence backing them are out in the open

making raid petitions public would go a long way toward removing some of the toxxicity in the raid scene

analogies is cool and all, but its really not that weird of a thing to think about if your on the outside. then again no amount of reasoning will let the inside get that. i still enjoy ya as a friend tho :0

this weekend has been highly enjoyable to see guilds from all over take on content they didnt know they could succeed at and never really had the opportunity to learn - fully agree.

anyone who thinks A/A is sitting around gritting our teeth and pounding sand after each corpse is linked is way off base...

There is probably a middle ground somewhere where the two extremes co-exist bc it just seems laughable that making this server 'non competative' is what the vast majority want bc there will always be a tiny sense of selfishness within each and every entity we have here. They just have to realize the breaking points.
