I’m going to be hit and miss for a while. Have a lot going on at home and work that just fell on me. I am going to attempt to make as many raids as possible, but I may not have much time other than that.

When it comes to all/all items, everyone will always be able to make a case that the item is an upgrade for them in some way. This does not mean that it isn’t better for a specific archetype. Sure, an instant click cure is great, but it is great for anyone. 25 ac is incredible for a back slot item, period. It is hard for me to find any argument that says this item is more beneficial to a caster than it is to a tank. The response we saw last night from many of our core members and raiders should provide enough evidence that this decision was less than ideal.

I have waited to post on this because I wanted to make sure my response correctly conveyed my feelings. First off, my belief is that everything we do needs to be in the best interest of the guild first and foremost. If a select few individuals do not like the rules as they are stated, maybe they aren’t the best fit for the group. A guild is more than just the sum total of its members, the social aspect of it is one of the hardest things to maintain. It’s also important to realize that no matter what is done, we will be unable to please everyone.
That all being said, at this point, we all know our classes well enough to understand what items we should be targeting as upgrades. Both in raids, and in groups. I personally keep a list of items I want on hand, as well as, where they drop and who drops them. For raids, I place a value on items that are upgrades for me and target them specifically for those price points. If I get outbid, oh well. I also know that there are more than one item that is an upgrade for those slots, it’s why I place a value on them.
DKP as a system rewards players who are the most present in raids. This way those who are always around have the best chance at getting items that will help the guild progress faster. I have a problem with refunding points after they are spent. I also have a problem with letting an item walk out of the guild just so someone can make a few bucks, especially when it would be a huge upgrade to someone else that would help us accomplish our goals faster and easier. I have handed out and down more items than I can count over the past months, all with the express purpose of helping us achieve newer and greater things. I know that this is not everyone’s mindset, but it should be the guilds mindset.
I know this post didn’t really make any suggestions, but I felt like I needed to make my thoughts known. If anyone has anything they would like to speak with me about in regards to it, please come to me in game, or in

disregard

If you look at the raid rosters you will see quite a few different names for each raid. So while each raid attendance may be around 50 people, it is a lot of different names from night to night. That’s why I think recruitment is the way it is.

I have completed both the Lord Gimblox and Lord Bergurgle camps. I have not done the turn ins yet however. The rest I have to wait until Kunark.

Here is a forum thread that has some nice basic and consolidated info on how to cleric

Most of you at this point know my character.  But, I’ll fill you in on my history.  I started playing eq on day 3 of the tribunal server being live. I rolled many character that I played for the first few weeks before discovering my love of the rogue.  I played a dwarf rogue named Vyrios almost exclusively until just after LDoN came out. This was when I finally quit. I came back briefly when Agnarr launched, but didn’t have the time to play so that only lasted a couple of weeks. I have now found the time and love I had for the game at launch and look forward to playing with you all for quite some time. I do have a bit of an alt addiction, so I have a battery of toons of different levels and styles available to play with anyone.
