ok devs just gathered up my ideas that ive come up with here lately.

on raids:
it seems to be the general opinion around here from what ive read, that the way to flag for titan is the favorite way, and that grinding for items(meaning that there is a chance u might not get the item needed) is a bad thing. An example of a change would be:
abbott: make the sigil pieces a garunteed(sp) drop.

also it seems that the publc is wanting more raids like TS( a very well designed raid IMO). Not only that, but they are asking for lowbie raids. Its even been suggested that lowbie raids could be used to help hook new players. On that note, my lowbie guild SWA on Ghallanda, would use this alot due to the purpose of the guild (train noobs in the art of teamwork and introducing them to the game, etc.)

last idea about raids is actually, make it a diffcultly like elite on some quests.
example of what I mean for a lowbie raid:
Take the Inlet quest, you have normal, hard, elite... then raid diffculty.
You can take in a raid grp to the quest and deal with much a much harder Yayar, more mobs etc. This would be worth more favor too.

on death:
really this has to do with the touch effect in the abbott raid also. The "weakness" was a good idea but making it permament wasn't.
Some of us were debating the current death penalty system and i think with both issues i've come up with a good idea for an all around solution.
>first keep xp debt, but slightly less because of what im suggesting to add
>when rez'd by raise dead spell, you get a -4 to all stats for a period of time. This stat dmg is temporay and can not be healed by spell.
>when rez'd by resurrection, you get -2 to all stats for same period of time, and same conditions apply.
> rez shrine acts as raise dead.
> GET RID OF THE STUPID TOUCH, just enact this system instead and you won't need the touch.
> it has been suggested that there should be equipment damage taken, I do not believe this should be due to most equipment already takes plenty of damage in normal play. (not all players take the ftr enhancment to keep ur gear in 1 piece).

on development:
Here is where i might step on your toes devs. Please concentrate on developing more content for the game and let some problem exploits go... atleast til later. The last change i hear was to stop an exploit which seems to have backfired on you in public opinion. Were hoping for new stuff to this game, let some things go, we can "police our own" as we put it in the Marines.
Doing this will let the public know you do listen to them.

Now these are just some suggestions that make sense to me. Ill add more later when i think of them.

ps. respawns are the dumbest way to make a quest harder.
