Default Why /list exists. Featuring <Seal Team>

Here's a reminder of why /list exists:

This was at a level 20 goblin for root nets--imagine what it'd be like at manastone camp.

Actually, you cant root dragons due to their immunity to run speed changes. This immunity is exploited on raids to generate a large amount of immediate agro on a warrior in a far shorter time frame than should be possible in this era.

Other exploited items include: Midnight Mallet and Soulfire.

Please ban all offenders so Green/Teal doesnt turn into blue. Thank you.

This is inevitable. The basics surrounding raids haven't changed from Blue and so I doubt the result will be any different. A toxic raid scene is, unfortunately, classic.

But that's not universally true. MANY servers had very amicable raid scene that was made possible by rotations. In fact the very idea of "competition" was antithetical to the spirit of the design of EverQuest. The reason EQ launched without any PVP servers, for example, was because the great McQuaid wanted an online MMO built around the spirit of COOPERATION OVER COMPETITION.

A toxic raid scene being "Classic" actually goes against everything the original designers of the game had envisioned.

If the raid scene on Green/Teal ends in a single guild monopolizing 95% of all mobs I for-see a population nosedive as more people reach max level.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. And, eventually, instancing made its way into the EQ raid scene. However, instancing isn't "classic" and as such will never be seen on the P99 servers.

Unfortunately, literally nothing has changed from the raid scene on blue. Because of that, there is no reason to believe that the green\teal raid scenes will be any less toxic.

You don't have to go back very far on the blue raid forums to find Rogean and Nilbog handing out raid suspensions. Go back far enough and you can find entire guilds being banned outright from the game. Rotations are good in theory as long as everyone agrees to follow the rules. Since that almost never happens, rotations generally cause more drama than they prevent.

Actually... Green/Teal is already turning into a more sophisticated and elaborate blue. Thank you.
