What about reducing spawn times and having lockouts for the guilds?

If guilds aren't fighting over the spawns, socking isn't necessary.

Any good ideas?

Yes. Obviously, the universal answer is to implement Defiant gear.

Defiant gear dropping from regular mobs and outclassing current VP gear will render current gear useless, thus eliminating the need for raiding.

Let's be honest here. People don't raid because they like it. They raid for the loot. Take away the loot, you take away the main reason for raiding.

That way, when Velious is going to be over and p99 will be in Luclin/PoP, everyone will have the best gear in the game, making it easier to play the game as it is meant to be played; groups and friendships instead of everyone calling each other ******s and faggots.

1/3 pre-spawn trash talking, 1/3 fte spamming, 1/3 trash talking when you get it. That is what raiding is. Sometimes you actually will get some loot you want.

replace all raid spawns with completely random earthquakes that may or may not ever happen. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What if the variance window was HUGE? As in, a mob could respawn anywhere from 3-10 days from time of kill. Would people still sock then?

IIRC Tuesday was the glorious patch day. Set Tuesday as the marker for a "new week".


7 day spawns can spawn randomly between that Tuesday and next. 3 day spawns spawn twice within that time period, etc.

Fuck it, lets see how deep these socks can go!

You forgot winning lawyerquest after the fact so that you don't have the loot deleted plus suspension
