Alternatives to variance to increase competition (veterans and relevant only)

[Kergan]

I am saying I disagree with HB regarding his previous stance on variance.

Pretty sure he didn't play on a PVP server either (on live), so by your own previously stated viewpoints that opinion wouldn't be valid to you either, yet you keep linking it. I could be wrong though.

Funny part was he changed his mind before joining Nihilum and got on the simulated repop bandwagon if I recall.

Regardless, your constant attempts to somehow get us to turn on each other or something is pretty transparent. We're both grown ups and semi-pro FQers. Ain't gonna happen.

Checkraise changes his mind every other day. It doesn't make the argument any less correct. Address the points the argument makes.

A repop randomly when you know all the raid targets up is exciting.

So juts make the spawn window big enough to make it pretty much random?

Sweet!

Fine.

What happened on EQ live means shit here, not even worth talking about. Let alone what happened on an EQ live blue server 15 years ago.

Second, I disagree with the assumption that the only reason you could be anti variance is you don't want to make it harder on Nihilum. I don't want to make it harder on anyone, including potential competition.

For the last time man, there are better ways to do this then forcing people to poopsock. There isn't anything else I can really say on the matter...you have your opinion of what will happen in a variance situation and I think the complete opposite. Both of us have talked about this subject to ad nauseam. Nobody wants to see me post in another one of your variance threads again, and nobody wants to see another one of your variance threads.

At this point, we're just rehashing the same pointless drivel. We need the staff to come in and say one of 3 things:

1. We're still considering it (i.e. keep debating)
2. Its going to happen
3. Its not going to happen

A random independent repop where all targets come up simultaneously with a serverwide warning is a pretty big difference from variance dude. D- on the troll.

Not that it matters, but the reasons I "supported" variance at the time no longer apply. The server pop was half, Nihilum was raiding with fewer numbers, sim repops didn't exist, and Nihilum members were threatening to quit over it. It was a way to grief Nihilum into quitting / giving up, and thus strengthen my own guild. Aka it was a selfish argument not based on lasting server health, but based on momentary gain for my own guild. I was also building my guild to be a poopsocking pve guild who could stand to benefit / exploit variance as opposed to a small crew of pvpers who would get wrecked by variance's requirement that you zerg [see: blue]. Thanks!

Lite just doesn't want to run into 50 nihi and get shit on. PvP server amirite.

whatever HB wrote, I did not read.

Why is lite obsessed with hb comments?
