This is a problem now. Level 50 over crowding is here now. The guilds on
Innoruuk who can do these raids and runs _do_ communicate and try to
coordinate. Not withstanding there is the _Strong_ competitive spirit
between them. The members need to trust their leaders and abide to the
agreements. On a couple occasions, there have been one or 2 problems and
that's when GM's step in. Granted - there's a lot of stuff that gets posted
and flamed and it's usually far from what is really happening between the
guild leaders.
Some competition is indeed healthy - a lot of cooperation will make things
work for everyone.

Subject: [eqbards] Here's a clip from the elite Innoruuk guild.
Caveat: It will probably be six months before I'm high enough level to go
on a dragon raid so the topic of this thread has no impact on me whatsoever.
Opinion: Until Verant comes up with something for all the level 50s to do,
this type of conflict between high level guilds on every server is gonna get
a helluva lot worse. I can see in the near future where guilds will have to
start using a waiting list, schedule, etc that every guild must abide by.
Full time GM required to make sure everyone plays by the rules (don't
laugh:-) Maybe a modified version of the /yield rule for guilds??
Short term solution?: To promote a "community" atmosphere, why don't the
high level guilds try cooperating with other guilds on a trial basis.
Perhaps agree to limit each guild to having one full group participate.
Have four guilds participate and you get the magic number of 24 people
fighting the dragon that everyone seems to think is the best number to
handle lag.

PS Wonder how many of the players who act the way mentioned below, no
matter what guild they are in, fall into the stereotype category of
"powergamer"?
