I agree with you completely.

Those guilds didn't know what they were doing, you all will find
that it is the same PoH that it always has been. Modify your
tactics accordingly, the SE corner is very aggressive now. But
this does not stop a successful break.

You've got to be just as creative as Verant is. I know longer think
exploiting a pathing problem or npc ai is wrong, Verant has been
exploiting players the last few months with pathing. We live in
harsh times now, you gotta fight fire with fire.

You can still do this, with Fear style CR tactics (resurrect).

Your guild is geared for doing dragons, even after the upgrades.
With the correct mix of people, I think anyone can do dragons.
The problem with other guilds on Innoruuk is that they are so
unorganized that it's a hassle to gather the right people. GuildA
has like 6 clerics, but GuildA has no bards. GuildB has all the
warriors, but GuildB has no clerics. It's this diversification
of classes among the guilds that ultimately prevents frequent
organized raids.

I can imagine the frustration behind that. If you all are going
to play with Vox again, I'm up for assisting thus freeing up one
of your secondary bards to class shift. There's not much else to
to do anymore, anyway.

Harmonic.
