randomly generated items = big nono

Just look what happens in diablo2 - it would kill a MMO if you got the godly sword of uberness which onehits grp encounters...

I'm generally happy with RoK, seeing as how I'm a casual group/solo player, but you can't please everyone, and I can see where the upset raiders are coming from. However, somebody should look at the feedback and whatnot, to see how they can keep/get more customers and such.

They treat raiders the same every expansion. What did you expect? real raid content for once?

Raiding in this game has and will all ways be a fucking joke, that will never change, atlest not with this line up of lazy ass devs.

If the instance content isn't a complete joke and waste of time it can be just as fun as contested. The novelty of "owning" the server isn't nearly as good as actually beating well done content, because lets face it, the only reason people want contested is so they can feel better about themselves because they are super awesome for killing them and no one else on the server can! Lame.

I think it would be par for the course if SoE buffed the old world contested for people to kill again. Even if they buffed just one old world contested that would be awsome. They could do more of them latter

Buffing old world content isn't even a good idea imo. If they take it seriously, all they are doing is recycling content which is pathetic in itself, and if it does something like what you suggested, it will be a 1-2 time kill and then beyond that a waste of resources and time. Giving someone a quick fix isn't giving them content.

Or, competition makes things more fun.

It's that or nothing, they're obviously not going to make anything new so why not spend a little bit of time on something that's already in game so people don't spend most of their time logged in this game sitting around in the harbor, the only problem might be too much loot dropping but otherwise it gives every raider something to do.

Instance clearing doesn't mean shit anymore, they ruined progression with mendor bots and unlimited repairs, that's one of the biggest fuckups of this game. The only option now is to make things hard to a point where luck > skill, whereas with contested mobs you mess up and fuck up and someone else is going to take it

On your subject of competition. Seriously speaking, especially in the current state of games and guilds per server, the competition would be nearly non-existent besides on a few select servers. On your comment of them ruining progression through more than what you just listed, welcome to why I quit EQ2 in Jan, and will never, ever, EVER come back. It just isn't worth the time investment if you are looking for a top top end raiding scene, all you will do is get disappointed over and over, and they have done NOTHING in the past 2 years to make me think otherwise.

But wait TAN, PvP!!!!!!!!!! IF WANT A CHALANGE GO PLAY ON PVP RITE?

Either way you look at it, RoK is way underdevloped.
