IE, Kunark drops, zerg kills all raid targets in hour 1. By the next week, everyone in the zerg guild will be 55 to 60, by end of month one, zerg guild has all their mains, main alts, shared toons level 60 and camped out all over the place to dry hump every spawn while still getting up 52's for the evenually naggy/vox level change.

Meanwhile, same zerg guild dry humps King camp for Fungi staffs to use to PL more shared toons, dry humps every item removed from game spawn until removed. Completely doming every spawn and farm site to get the key spells for many classes.

I would put money on exactly what zerg guild will do to get Trakanon down, Train kite and zerg him like they did in Kunark on Blue. Blue taught the zerg leadership what to do and how to get away with it. Without the removal of the rotten players (but only a short 7 day) that makes the raiding unfriendly to people who dont like to sit at the computer for 20 hours in a row to get 3 mobs, it is nearly pointless to raid. Creating trains to get FTE and dropping the train when you lose fte knowingly training the competition just isnt legit.

Bottom line. Raiding isnt fun this way.

pretty much

This is all probably true. Question is going to be which items, if any, are going to be /list camps. Legacy items which get removed or nerfed, like lockets of escape and circlets of shadow, seem like obvious candidates. But if so, why not make the fungi staff a /list drop also? Are VP key pieces, like the ones dropping off the pained soul, the rotting skellie, of the Verix Kylong remains, going to be /list?

The raid prediction is probably spot on. Kunark brings some more raiding into the mix, but it's still a limited number of targets - 5 outdoor dragons, Trak, and VS, until VP opens up, yeah?

I'll fix it for you.

Either join 300 people you don't know and start at 0 DKP so you can get the top 30-50 their pixels, and maybe get one crappy item some day... or settle for better community and better chances at pixels

snap, it is only 4 isn't it. Not sure what I was thinking of as the 5th. Point still stands - the limited raid encounters will definitely lead to friction. This is true on blue also, even with the significant increase in raid content that velious brings.
