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!

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.......

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.

Every member of your guild is a representative of your guild. A lot of you need to learn the difference between responsibility and making excuses for passing the buck.
everyone in our guild is allowed to have opinions and state them. you chose to call him TMO labeling a guild based on one opinion while there were multiple previous posts from tmo members supporting this.

shut up
