Tigole goes off on a rant

Over at the Legacy of Steel, Tigole's gone off on a bit of a rant concerning the Raid level content in EQ. Quote:
The high end game in Everquest revolves around raiding. Currently, for a number of reasons which I will identify, there are simply not enough spawns to keep the *raiding community* content. What happens when people are not content? They stop playing.
He's got some reasonable points, some of which have been raised before, and proposes some interesting (if controversial) solutions to his raised points. Wish all my lunch breaks were as productive :) Catch the Rant here.

I read this post last night and it seemed to me that Tigol was trying to solve problems that he had on his server to be in favor of his guild. I, being on mith marr server, dont totally aggree with all his soulutions, except maybe more server splits and more random spawns on the uber mobs. I also aggree that some mobs should be a privilage for only the elite guilds to kill instead of any half assed pick up raid being able to take down that same mob. As far as the north wing of ToV going PvP when vulak is up, well i guess that would be fun to see but on my server Afterlife would just come stomp every other guild that wanted the nwing(no disrespect to the other 19 or 20 high end guilds on mith marr :P....). And the triggered mobs portion of the post made no sense to me. If the npc is untargetable then how would u be able to spawn chosen mob?

Just some more output coming from a different prospective.

I agree with the problems he identifies, but I disagree with the solutions, except one.

More Content

It's getting crowded in places like ToV.

Quick fixes:

Do anything useful with the plane of mischeif. I dunno, bump all the levels by 10, something to make that zone useful for End-Game content.

Upgrade Veeshan's Peak, and make it fun.

Put in the rest of the Vex Thal key quest.

Drop the amount of loot on the chained spawns in Kael (Vind, Statue, AoW) by 1/3 and make them spawn 3x more often.

Forcing people to go PvP would be against the vision. It's not going to happen.
