Sorry for the double post but i prefer not to edit posts for reasons of consistency of a thread. My toon names are Realdeal/Thrilla/RdJE/ATE I am a member of Damage Inc, although my thoughts do not necessarily reflect the guild's sentiments. I played this game in Live and inconsistently since ST2. I try my best to have respect for all players and their viewpoints. I do not intend to insult anyone in my posts however in my passion errors may occur. Point in being, I know this game and how it has evolved. My viewpoints regarding the rotation stem from my passion for this game, not my greed for items from a raid. (I have basically everything I want for most of my toons.. with the exception of warder stuff and a TR for thrilla.. heh) BTW Mouli is doing a fine job as PA just not necessarily on this topic.. please do not respond to this comment here. Aloha

I understand what your saying Flip and I appreciate your insight. The sad truth is everyone (big3 members included) are still abiding to old order. The reason any raid is a struggle is because of this order. just as much as the public needs to revolt, the big3 members need to also "grow a pair" and stop the madness. I for one would not be a member of a guild that showed bad form and was unjust because a leader tells me so, but that's me. There must be a path to freedom or this thread is a mere venting session for all that understand what would make the current server better.

The reason I believe it should be voted on to officially eliminate or suspend the rotation is "big3" members or the public in general seem tentative to join a forming raid for reasons of upsetting old rotation traditions or affecting change for the elimination of one. I could not agree more that the game would be a much better environment if everyone raided together.

Is it possible to vote on this? Or will the top guilds just continue to remain silent and hold sway while hoarding raids for themselves. Seems to me that every raid is a struggle right now, public or not. Might we all come together and enjoy this great game?

Please stop the insults... Give the community a chance to answer

We have digressed. Please Blackmercenary do not respond to Moulinneuf. Lets try to keep it simple; Why does there need to be a raid rotation under the current status of the server? also What would be the harm in temporarily eliminating it as a test?

I appreciate your response. Sorry for making it personal. Its shows in your work you are trying to help. We all say things in spite that we regret. -Aloha

BTW why edit this out? I certainly won't ,, The current and accurate detail I have, was given to all of you. Simply put I work for the entire player base. I suspect you lack the mental capacity , respect of others and the empathy to care about all othe players. That's me being extremely polite in your case. Because FFA worked so well in the past ... Where is your data ? From what experience ? How old are you ? Stand by what you say...

I apologize as it appears that I have offended you. That was not my intention nor was my post entirely directed at you, this is after all a community. My question was directed at the current status of the server, not the past. It was a simple question and if someone can honestly state the benefits of a rotation and lack thereof, this is where clarity happens. Making judgments at my experience, age or credibility may keep OJ out of jail but it won't win you fans or respect. My intentions for simple clarity of this subject IS out of respect to others. A good experiment might be temporarily eliminating the rotation to see its effects. I'm guessing that if everyone is respectful it would be a success for all. Once again if anyone can simply explain why a rotation is needed for the CURRENT state of the server I would appreciate it and so would many others. BTW a worse case FFA raid system would still be better IMO than a boring know your place rotation. The best games emulate life and as we know the world doesn't agree on order.

Please explain to me the reason for a raid rotation at this time and also what are the negative results of not having a raid rotation. Make it short and simple please, not a long winded novel with plot twists. I can say the positive results are the server would be a better place for ALL, including the select few still trying to hold onto their toys.

The raid rotation needs to end. This game is meant to be fun for all. Why should a select group of elite or multi-boxers have rights to a raid. Besides why cant we all just raid together? The game is more alive and spontaneous when you can join at any time and have a shot at ANY raid. It is a joke that a few guild leaders can hold a monopoly on features of the game. This is beyond madness. BTW is has been stated that GM's and DEV's will never support a raid rotation, only look the other way if everyone agrees. clearly not everyone agrees. "The time for honoring yourself will soon be at an end." The only reasonable discussion would be to make an attempt to spread out the raiding times when possible.
