It's fun being a small guild, hearing a mobs up and trying to assemble and get shit done quickly and quietly.

Yeah in the top guild it's an annoyance - you can't just drop dragons 10 minutes apart for a few hours.

Apart from like a mob that pops @ 9am EST or something, Nihilum will still get 95% of all mobs because we can get 25+ people online within 2 minutes of a bat phone and be ported and buffed @ the target location in under 10 minutes. This would take azrael / victory algorithm / red dawn / classic / force w/e they're called this week close to 3 hours. All it will do is be an annoyance for everyone involved while fostering zero pvp. The mobs spawn in prime euro time on a weekend, if you can't contest that then wtf can you contest?

Maybe true, but that is down from 100% of the raid mobs.

The annoyance factor might result in larger guilds not killing lower priority targets.

Having all raid mobs slain in one day by a massive amount of people consequentially cock blocking the entire server is way too easy, and isn't classic.

We didn't realise the amount of neckbearding people were prepared to do in the beginning for an EMU - but this not classic change is what truly fosters 0 pvp.

There is no raid force rushing for Trak while the other is trying to bat phone get there and stop them. There is no sniping mobs quietly, there is a massive raid force showen up once a week and sayen sit down bitches we'll take everything - shit is not classic and not right.

to add to this, the top guild getting wind of a silent snipe and being able to log there other 30 alts at any given target....

So Variance has worked well on BLUE right. There are tons of guilds killing multiple raid targets right?

Oh wait... TMO gets 95% of raid targets still.
