Hats off to the GMs, thank you.

Why are you the arbiter of "proper effort"? I commend you for beating TR at their own game in an extremely time-intensive competition, but that doesn't change the fact that the current system isn't classic, and therefore by the definition of this server simply wrong. Classic did not involve hours of tracking and batphoning for every mob. In fact what Rogean has proposed seems extremely close to classic except that simultaneous repops should reset spawn timers.
Classic involved salaried / payed GM's monitoring the FTE spam & train fests that DID happen. For such reasons, this server can never truly be 100% classic in that same manner. (Nor would I wish it on the hard working GM's)

I refuse to be paid 8.50 an hour and live in Cali for the classic experience of being a "Classic Gm"!

But you get your own cubicle and everything, and I heard Smedley takes the team out for pizza every last Thursday of the month...

Hey look at the bright side. Raid mobs now have the chance to pop during variances or during the simulated patches, so you still have the chance to get woken up at 3am on a worknight to go kill gorenaire while the rest of us newbs and idiots focus on killing them during the simulated patches.

I see this as a win win, as most of us are just not interested in being on call for a 2nd job that pays in pixels, and those that are interested in such a thing can keep on doing what they do. You can continue to look at yourself as a someone who had to trudge through the trenches to get what you have, but I think you are disillusioned..

Eccezan try not to comment about what happened before your time on here either as you obviously have no clue.

Agreed. I've put in plenty of work getting my character to 60, properly equipped and ready with a resist kit.

I'll gladly put in the hours it takes to break a raid zone and kill a mob a dozen times for my chance at a single piece of loot, but sitting around refreshing track on someone else's character for hours in addition is absolute, utter bullshit.

Cali is nice. But 8.50 an hour is not. It is especially not nice in Cali.
