Variance is the only reason I'm not in a raiding guild on this server.

It's a weak, hands-off approach to dealing with the immaturity of the raiding population on p99. Beta management.

I can tell you were not there when the whole server was sitting on nagafens spawn point back in classic.

Hands-off is whats needed here with the 2 server gms you guys have.

yea im sure they want to spend more time dealing with you guys.

Hell. Even a "if you get da xp, you get da lootz!" policy for raid mobs would be better than a GM having to sort out the FTE stuff.

Are you referring to this server when you say 'back in classic'?

My join date is when I started playing here, which has allowed me plenty of time to observe how awful the raid population is on p99. I don't need to experience 'the whole server sitting on nagafen' to make a valid point.

Variance is one way of dealing with that when there's a lack of administrative resources, but it's weak. It effectively cuts off raiding for anyone who doesn't have hours to burn during a window.

If you don't think that's a shit situation, we have little further to discuss.
