Dald u cant say only two in zone unless the trackers officially sign in lol

there will b expers in KC,Seb, DL, Sol B etc

its hard to say a blank statement "only 2 in zone" its why people eventually started socking the zone in.... u cant limit the number of people in the zone simply playing the game not even raiding

Yes you can.

If you're concerned with getting dragons in the FFA or Class C spawn, you're at the high-end of the game.

You aren't or shouldn't be concerned with exping. You want some of the very best loot and hardest kills this expansion has to offer.

If your guild isn't hardcore enough to prevent people from exping during these windows, you probably have better things you could do (like exping) than go for the best loot in game during their competitive windows.

Plus... If Variance is reduced to be something like... 1-2 or even 4 hours that's a very reasonable amount of time to tell your guild to avoid certain zones.

KC, Seb, Sol B, DL, TD, EJ, Skyfire, VP, Perma, Hate, Fear.

No one is exping in EJ, Skyfire, VP, Perma, Hate or Fear. If they are it's probably someone soloing TD, Perma or Skyfire.

KC, and Seb are popular exp spots. But there's Chardok, Charasis, LGuk, etc. If you want to get your grind on.
DL/Sol B are popular alt spots. Just play another alt.

Again with reduced variance of like 60min, this is a non issue. People in the guilds contesting FFA or Class C spawns, can avoid these zones for an hour or two a week for their guilds chance to kill the mob.

Endgame is retarded on server regardless of whether there are more rules less rules whatever. There is simply not enough content for a server that is this top heavy. There would need to be significant changes that would be "not classic" in order for the raid scene to not suck, in my opinion.

I honestly think people are going to be severely disappointed with what the server is like with Velious release, the only change is that peoples tears are going to be frozen

Case in point, I remember the same argument being made for Kunark when all we had was the pre-expansion game. The nonstop issues P1999 encounters with its high-end scene seem to me like a case study highlighting why newer games tend to make liberal use of instancing.

If you don't want to "sock," then don't. I don't. Heck I'd immediately disband from any guild that expected me to do so. It means I don't get those shiny pixels, but so what? No high end video game loot in return for not hating the time I spend online seems a good trade to me. Alternately, it should be remembered that every single person "socking" spawns is there because he wants to and chooses to be there.

If you don't want a full rotation, and don't want instancing, and essentially don't want anything that can stop this behavior, then you get this behavior. Can't have your cake and eat it too.

The only way everybody would be happy is a rotation only blue server and a bare minimum rules blue server (no ninja looting, no ksing). As blue is now, you're basically trying to make MLB play on the same field as a bar softball league simultaneously.

I've said it plenty of times but the majority of class R guilds would support a new blue server with /movelog operating in the fashion of the current rotation system. 15k for kids with cancer will pail in comparison to fundraising to get a new server.
