1. Check out TMO's roster. Look at how many players are in parentheses.

2. Notice that a lot of the people not in parentheses have alts (Jeremy has 4 toons, Alarti is Paradime and others, Internode has Aether, etc)

3. TMO alts get more gear than BDA mains; Zeelot has an SK!! alt with the epic which I think is hilarious, and the alts load up on VP gear as well.

4. If the server switches to simultaneous repops, having multiple chars will become a priority and the number of alts will hugely increase. Especially a lot of naggy/vox alts would make the trip to 60 I'm guessing.

So basically either that is the situation now, or it would be the situation in 3 months.

Anyone in the game can do this. It again comes down to the "punishing people for what they've earned" kind of thing. There is nothing inherently wrong with having multiple characters logged out in strategic places, ready to engage raid targets.

The unfairness comes into play with the Variance. It creates the situation where only the largest guilds can afford the man-hours to Track the targets, something that simply did not exist in Live. Spawn times were known and raids were mobilized on that basis, not via Trackers and batphones. Without Variance, a given number of raiders could expect a given number of kills just due to probability of FTE, without all the waiting and socking. That created Rotations.

So now we've got this cult of entitlement coming out of TMO, where the scum has floated to the top of the server. Rogean is so self-contradictory between the issues of Variance and Classic, when he even bothers to check on us anymore, that it would be fascinating to watch, if we weren't so directly involved. That only makes it nauseating.

The question is, can we expect Rogean to show any interest in the server ever again? I am chewing leather for the developers who still actually care, and it's basically a matter of days before the server begins losing the new population influx to the totally fux0red raid scene. Hasn't this exact scenario played out too many times to ignore anymore?
