sim repops are bad but variance is good

[Jib]

sim repops just create more gear on the server and less pvp. guilds spread out to take what they can uncontested as fast as possible then log out after.

variance would cause constant pvp battles with less loots giving the server more integrity less pixels more pvp and a healthier longer lasting server.

sim repops make the strongest guild even stronger, and the weaker get a few scraps or nothing. its similar to capitalism, the more money you have the more money you make. Variance is more like communism, it keeps an equal playing field regardless how many players you have and regardless of their gear.

LMAO. This will never happen...ever. if you think this is what variance would do for you then you are sadly mistaken. Nihilum would have an army of trackers stationed across Norrath Backes by the biggest neckbeards on the server, we would still kill everything within a minute of it spawning, then we would wipe out ur raid as you came trickling in. And that all on top of recruiting 20 or 30 more players to make sure we have an overwhelming force rdy to go at all hours.

I can confirm this 100%. Know why? Because we have variance already in the form of sim repops and server resets.

-pop for Nihilum probably. This is one of the reasons im not 100 % for variance. I think It could possibly unfairly hurt Nihilum. Nihilum might experience more burn out. Noone wants to track dragons that they dont really need for themselves.
+pop for the rest of the server though.

+pvp most likely.

Nihilum has had a strangle hold on this server. I mean just take a look at some of your members. Tune would rather suicide Fay into a guildmaster instead of allowing other guilds to slay a dragon.

People are forced to join Nihilum if they want to progress. Back on RZ there were multiple guilds contesting. People had several guilds to choose from. Here there is only one choice, and imo its a poor one.

With variance other guilds will at least have a chance at getting epics. If they want to poop sock that bad more power to em. We should at least try variance till velious comes out. Nihilum are mostly BiS anyway and no guilds can compete with you in VP for your precious dragonz. You gotta admit that this server is not working very well. Something has to change. I for one think it's time to try something new instead of the same shit week after week.

tldr version
+1 Pikrib dkp for posting pro variance

I'd also like to add that I'd feel bad for Hokuten/disappointed in Nihilum if it wasn't for the fact that the recruitment thread basically declares war on Nihilum. Would fully expect my guild to get shit on if I did that.

windows overlap, so thats actually impossible

would also be cool to be just running to seb for a group and see sev running around like woah hes up? shit lets mobilize!
