Before somebody yells consolidate I felt this issue needed a separate thread since it is another issue.


First off I think the riftway stones are a really bad idea for most who plan to be raiding. We are going to have the same problem we had in EQ2. It was very hard for new raid guilds to get started because all of the harcore 20+ hours a day guilds would have a monopoly on all spawns. The thing I loved about Vanguard is that since the world is so big everyone has a chance at hitting content since it is pretty much impossible to get to all the content in one night.

If these stones stay in the way they are right now everyone who is not a hardcore raid guilds will get next to nothing. There is not doubt that these stones will end up hurting a lot of the raid scene rather then helping it.
