Explain how he was wrong. Whether you agree with his stated purpose, what was done (increased variance) achieved a greater degree of the stated purposes (less sock).
Proposition #1: If the variance is shortened it will increase the # of players poopsocking.
Here you argue that a smaller window would decrease or not change the amount of players on a given spawn point at a given time. Such a position is not logical, because in fact the pay out chances for standing on spawn point increases over time when the window is set. At a certain point it becomes economical to sit 100 people on a spawn point. This is logical and this is what happened in the last 24 hours regularly.
Proposition #2: With the variance having a chance to reset, players are less likely to poopsock knowing it could be 6 hrs up to 30hrs until pop.
Irrefutable fact, there is dramatically less poopsocking now than before the change. Has there even been a trackanon poop (outside of FE jugg farming) since? For a span there, it seemed there was a trak poop sock with 100+ on spawn once a week for several months.
Proposition #3: i expect to see a lot less of 100 people on VS or on trak or on any other raid mob spawn spot, because it adds a higher sense of randomness to when the pop will happen.
Irrefutable fact. You can't argue otherwise unless you're capable of blocking out reality to stay strong in your position--the kind of person who watches sean hannity or bill mayer (other than for his humor).
