Ya because unemployed middle aged men living at home competing over content by setting up a 72 hour observation post is really exciting!

Very inaccurate picture of what is going on right now.

Once Velious and Luclin are out there will be mountains of content. If my dream of Luclin comes true. Never say never. Something needs to be done at the current time though. It's good to see a serious look into changing raiding some since the majority of folks aren't being civil and greed is rampant. Thank you Rogean.

Locking the ability for people to play the characters they want is not good for anything.

Oh, I accidentally logged in the wrong 46+, looks like I'm stuck on it for 5 hours.

Need an extra cleric for this raid or cleric left the group and I could replace him? Sorry, can't log on to my other characters until the repop is done.

Oh I'll buff our group with c2 my enchanter is camped at KC entrance. Oh, never mind.

Too many situations where this just interrupts the flow of gameplay. I understand your concern about people camping out multiple characters at multiple mobs, but I think its a lot more limited and small scale than you currently believe it to be. This is coming from somebody with more 60s than anybody should have (sigh).

Please explain.

The only part that really was correct in that sentence was 72 hours, as that is how long the window is.

You think that 90% of raiding people are unemployed, which is just malarkey (thx Biden).

It also sounds like you are saying that one single person sets up a 72 hour camp and never leaves. I'd say that the most any overachieving person would put in in a single week, not window, is 30-40 hours, and that would be 1% of the sample I have.

On average you will see between 2-3 hours per person. Its a team effort, that involves a large amount of people from different time zones, and in many cases there are gaps in the time that things are being watched. Obviously that is situational, but it occurs often.

Yes, there is tracking involved. No, it does not involve the effort of 10 unemployed neckbeards living at home staring at a computer screen in 12-72 hour shifts. Thats just dumb.

All this being said, I am 100% for the variance being halved, there is no need for whats happening now, whether people know exactly what it is or not. I will agree that its a lot of wasted manhours!

Its a means to an end.

I like everything Rogean has suggested. Personally, I don't think that more high end items on the market is going to be a bad thing for the server. CoF and epics are already farmed and sold all the time. The only folks it's going to hurt are the folks in EC selling Trak BPs, and I really don't have much sympathy for them.

We will be implementing an FTE notice of some sort, whether this is an emote or some type of message.

Have the mob shout to zone, can't be more clear than that and avoids any need for GM confirmation where pullers were OOR of an emote from mob.......
