Hey zombie
I will try to find you to give your brace back

I think you lent me riftskull one?
It is very hard right now in Lugh. I will propose one idea i had. I was thinking of posting a message for those interested of starting a dragonlord gearing clan. It would kind of be a clan that only focused on dl armour. I think for many armour is more important than even bothering to worry about the snorri camping game right now. It would kind of work like this.
The logic is that since (as far as I know) lugh is mostly a cross-clan sharing system, meaning many clans don't actively focus on gearing only their clan members and will share with anyone, a clan could be started with the sole purpose of gearing its members in armour. The fact of the matter is that it is very difficult when everyone shares, or says they are sharing, or outfits their alts, and you are sitting in the clan not progressing. Everyone is entitled to do what they wish but I know for many who never seem to get shared with, this can be frustrating. This is of course no attack on the relationships of people in lugh or how they choose to play, it is just a matter of fact for many right now.
So for this clan Anyone above level req for dl would be free to join this clan. Since many of those in Lugh who are already geared dont need, they would stay in the clan they are in obviously and they would be free to help with bosses if they wanted, but wouldn't need to feel obligated. If they wanted to let one of their alts join the clan then they could do this though. Basically, the sole purpose of this clan would be to camp, kill, and then outfit its members with the low level dl drops : gems, eggs, idols, etc. this way there would always be people to call to help you take down the ph, and hopefully always have enough to tackle the bosses.
Now you would have to leave your current clan to join this new clan, but, once you were outfitted, you could go back to your original clan. Since so many new members are actively seeking to outfit themselves, this clan would most likely always have a revolving but fairly large base of dl boss hunters. Such that the clan would not have to rely on the kindness of strangers to always come help, but would have enough people that they could kill say the spider or wyvern on their own.
We have very many very nice high levelled players in Lugh, many use idols, restos, lixes, etc. very often, just to help low levels with these bosses. I know damn well some of them must get tired of this though. With this new clan, it would kind of be like when the update first launched and those high levels who help now, first had to do it on their own with no high level help. To me this creates more challenge, more fun, and more engagement in the boss fight. Obviously anyone would be able to join fight and dice, but there would ideally be enough low levels connected through clan to get the call and come help.
As for dicing, all of the same rules would apply, any clan could obviously join and dice, but if the members of this new clan got a drop, then the drop would immediately go to the outfitting of members in the clan. There would be a clan bank to this end open to any one in clan, and I would think that the highest, most active members would get outfitted first. Most active members in the clan across time zones could be generals (until they are outfitted and leave) and would have to be trusted to make fair decisions on who get what drops. Alternatively, any clan member could keep the drop they get, but any that go beyond what they need would be passed along to the next clan member. Since the most active and highest level would get outfitted first, they would be the first ones to go back to their original clans, and this would also encourage those lower to be active and level themselves up
I think a system like this, if implemented properly could do well to outfit the most people the fastest, at least for boots, gloves, etc. There would obviously be a disparity between colours of drops and some builds would get outfitted faster, but we all chose to play the toon we play with both advantages and disadvantages in mind. I like levelling my rogue faster than others, but I also know there are many many rogues looking for the same drops as me.
There are obviously many holes in this idea and it is one that would require a fair about of goodwill, honesty, sharing and moral integrity; but, these are qualities I have seen in lugh many, many times
Well now that I have brainstormed this post here instead of doing my job .... Lol maybe I will go online and run this idea by some people.
Lukov if you read this I really appreciated your post and your spot on observations of the state of Lugh over the years. But i do think that Lugh is still a very kind, and open world, and we can all get along if we are cognizant of the importance of goodwill and fun in what is essentially a game about playing well with others.
