Rogean, I'm curious as to your thoughts on removing variance?

[spoils]

I'm not sure we the server have received an official thought (not to be confused with what's actually going to be executed) on simulated patch days? I understand you'd like to be hands off as much as possible...and Nilbog has expressed positive feelings towards the idea.

The reason why I'm asking is because, the moral of all the threads on why the raid scene sucks is that to shut people up, either they need instances or are over-entitled to content without putting work in, etc...blah blah blah same old shit. Either way any of those options leaves one of the two polarized communities pissed off.

I also understand that you and your staff would like to remain hands off of too much manual labor. I get it, I'd be the same way. It has nothing to do with laziness, it's really about minimizing human hands on the server.

But what are your thoughts? At the end of the day, we the community don't deserve or are entitled to anything...yes I include financial patrons as well. We the community would like to hear your thoughts outside of "zomg grow the fuck up and work shit out yourselves"

One thing that allowed for multiple uber guilds to exist on high population servers was patch days where everything repopped instantaneously forcing guilds to focus on content they could. What about the "zomg TMO will just split their forces". Let's be honest here guys, a house divided cannot stand. Even TMO with the skill/zerg/whatever you call it...they cannot spread their forces THAT evenly with the same amount of effectiveness. They might be able to get the hardest of encounters and perhaps some of the easier less than 20 people needed encounters.

But anyways i digress...help us Rogean-wan-kenobi...you're our only hope!
