@a_skeleton_02 is just riled he can't make bad money playing an emu anymore so he has to shit up this thread with his suggestions about how Pantheon should allow him to cockblock content 16 hours a day to make more RMT scraps at below minimum wage

You posted an idea. For game developers whose job it is to sit around and come up with ideas. I used to do the same thing on the Vanguard beta forums. Don't worry though, Brad will trash them all. You could come up with the best skill system on the planet.
K, sorry. Thought ssh had taken over telnet's (the actual program's, not the idea of logging into a computer remotely) work.

We get it, you were a shitty, lower tier guild EQ player. You don't have to keep making more posts to brag about it.

why would i brag about playing EQ? i'll just go ahead and brag about the quarter million dollars i made RMTing casually for a year
I fixed so many problems for TMO in my tenure and gave them so much of an advantage during the guild wars I could've said anything i wanted.
its a shame you had to spend so much time playing p99 for such little money

To a degree, a_skeleton_02 is right. Not everyone should get a ticket to raid content. That's the exact problem with MMOs post-EQ. When everyone gets everything, nothing feels worthwhile.
However, I believe there are ways to spread the love a little bit. My theory is you must make it impossible to check whether most raid mobs are up without a raid force. That means making it untrackable and impossible to sneak in, FD in, or camp a player on it's spawn point. With respawn variability and that time requirement, a single guild won't be able to easily check and batphone mobs the way we've done in the past. While a guild is checking one target, different guilds can check the others.
They could add raid caliber rare spawns or mini-bosses to make checking worthwhile and provide a consolation prize should the mob not be up.
On top of that, add repop days or random full repops every so often.
This won't stop the most hardcore guilds from getting the most boss kills, nor should it, but it will increase the likelihood of normal guilds killing a raid mob from time to time.

Yeah the problem in my mind is not about letting casuals kill raid content it's to prevent the top guild from monopolizing lower tier raid content that they would do due to the inherit nature of open worldness.
in EQ we actively killed lower tier mobs like Naggy at 60 because we wanted alt gear and to sell stuff but to also prevent other guilds from getting a foothold and becoming competition and that is not healthy what so ever.
For an open world game to be viable there has to be a way to dissuade higher level guilds from killing trivial content and I don't know if there is truly a correct answer that doesn't cheapen or break something else.
