Happened in Class R with Taken and BDA securing mostly uncontested slots on all Kunark dragons...forget the name of the 3rd smaller guild but they'd be competing with the others for that 3rd part.

Then obviously when the ringfenced pixels were taken away with Velious launch there were tears :rolleyes:

You'd definitely see at least Venerate and Black Lotus getting into the mix (and winning targets). I'd venture Fires of Heaven, Calamitous Intent, Dynasty, Gathered Might, Castle, and Alpha Betas would all start competing on some level as well.

Why more custom lawyering? What's wrong with the perfectly fine "No windows" system, which not only should alleviate the problem for the players, reduce the CSR burden, and also make the server more classic.

3 good things, I don't see any bad ones?

What would stop ST from splitting into 2 guilds?

And ultimately, why would it be better to have 2-3 guilds monopolizing the content instead of one large guild?

The people with the unhealthiest obsession with the game will get the kills.

The problem with removing the long spawn variance windows is the top guild would just purposely stack the spawn timers on non-peak hours, like 2am, to prevent smaller guilds from mobilizing. When all the big guilds were banned on blue, you saw a lot of raid mobs just sitting up, so I doubt the casual guilds will be able to stop most of the window stacking that would occur. Consistent quakes on prime time hours would help counteract that problem, but that would be an additional feature requirement on top of the removal of windows.

A quake every couple weeks at a random time of the day to simulate classic patches.
