Why would noobs enter an area that could be clearly designated as a PVP area and entering it will flag you grey? You saying $ wouldnt be interested in PVPing over an area that had increased drops/score rate? Werkt wouldnt? POWER wouldnt?

You had two MOTM invasions in magician this month. 2:7(?) is not that bad of a ratio. Every non-invasion day has unguarded spawn for you to pk at. I am sure Shane will throw you a bone and drop guards one night this week.
I would like to see a consensual no-looting event just to have an overland pvp arena. Every death you lose 5k. 3k to the killer and 2k gold sink. Throw in a res kill cooldown. Using a power+ runic? Extra 3k

If all eqms wants is pvp them why should there be increased rewards?
Be warned this question is a trap.

idea has to be tweaked.. all invasions shud be guardzone free every weekend at an agreeable time and during that timeframe monsters shud have some super special rare drop.. would be way better and less exploitable

Way better idea than just one designated area at all times.
@GluttonySDS no, nobody in power really cares too much about pvm or item drops. Maybe 4 of us at max actually pvm.

Who has been salty?
Glut made a suggestion that is all about benefiting him. Community is against it.
You are funnier when you aren't trying to back up lost causes.
P.s. please don't exclude me from future hbh pics cause of this.

Except this shuts out the vast majority of event goers who have no interest in PVP... you shouldnt force PVP upon people in events like this as when they turn off guardzones, the event areas become empty.
My solution allows people who want to remain farming risk-free under guardzone the ability to do so while allowing people who want to go for the extra rewards by engaging in PVP the ability to do so as well without infringing upon the first group of players.

No body in POWER cases about rares or PVM? Several of your core members have dedicated statue galleries...

pretty much everyone
It's a good idea, pve is boring as shit without some risk.
I'm really amazed how quick the big guilds are to cry 'we would all just die to eqms'. I wish people would be more like 'we will have 5 tamers and 10 people on pvp builds holding tha area down until someone can take it from us'.
These invasions that are under guard protection look about as interesting as a spirited game of bejeweled - no risk and just repetitive mindless clicking.
P. S. You are on the OG hbh mailing list, you will never be excluded

How is this benefitting only me? This is benefiting anyone/any group who wants to risk PVP to get some rewards...the crux of UO. If you're argument is that no one can compete against EQMS how can that be when half of the posts on here are about how trash and newb we are or how other guilds always win.

Most of which he buys lol. I'm just speaking from experience when I say nobody in power would care enough to fight you guys off countless times just to farm some monsters for a chance at a rare drop. We'd rather just fight you in no cut or kill one of ur noobs and draw you out of no cut.

How is it easy to exploit and how is it bad for the economy(unlike say a weeklong event where people can free farm as much gold as they want without risk of being PKd).
Theyve tried the solution of turning off the guards and it completely kills the event for the duration guards are off...

Because there's 0 incentive for anyone to play their factioner there... just like theres 0 incentive for anyone to play their factioner anywhere which is why you rarely see faction fights and why factions are being scrapped for a militia system that incentivizes everyone to participate.

Its been proven turning guards off just kills the event for everyone... this is an alternative to that solution that still allows the PVE trammies to PVE under guard zone while allowing the people/guilds that can PVP with some PVE a chance to do so for increased drops.
BEN!

this server could really use some small incentives to get people into PVP... we got way too many #affected people trying to derail a good idea
having a day without guards doesn't work.. it shuts down the event and people not looking for PVP but interested in participating are likely to get frusterated/log off
maybe make it like king of the hill, entering a certain area allows you to accumulate a small # of event points over time but you are flagged grey

Maybe at a event that's designed for it.
