    Sadly a case where a handful of players kinda ruined it for everyone else. I've had several Orbonne's this month where I had to sprint to get ahead of the zerg just to place the markers because several people in the alliance were too impatient to let people place them normally - let alone let people give even some minor tips to prevent wipes.

    I'm going to pipe up and say that this current system is very abusable. It doesn't even need to be like ozma or thunder cid to cause unnecessary problems and potentially cause those bosses to not be cleared.

    Who decides what is "correct" marker position in alliance raid? Isn't it all just personal preference and there really is not correct way to mark anything? For LoTA it doesn't really matter on any of the bosses if you mark it ABC or BCA or CAB, etc?

    In my experience, if markers go down it's just about always ABC order, with the occasional screwup on like, the three demon guys before Behemoth. People who run the roulette regularly seem to mostly just expect that now, and if anybody puts markers that are different... well, the one time that comes to mind for me is the time someone did that on those demon guys. Half the raid ignored the markers and went ABC, half went to the new markers, I tried to fix the markers but it was too late, and the mobs got tanked together in the wrong place aaaand we wiped.

    Basically, and this is probably pretty cynical, I don't trust DF randoms to be able to adjust to something other than the normal marker order. I think it's actually pretty cool and reasonable that there's sort of a standard marker so your folks who are new or just plain not paying attention don't end up doing totally opposite things and getting everyone killed. Those raids are such a boring snoozefest half the people there are probably half asleep anyway. :/
