Notifications do not serve small guilds nearly to the extent large guilds are served.

Scenario: small 20 man guild has 10 people online, notification goes out and 75% of their people show, they maybe have 1 single chance at 1 single mob.

TMO/FE/BDA/Whatever has hundreds of toons available to them.
Notification goes out, they have enough time to strategize and mount on numerous targets successfully... how does this serve small guilds?


--------------------------------------

Or how about when A Small Guild is doing their weekly hate runs, and then a notification comes out and the Inny/Maestro that would have been attainable is now a shit show train fest, equaling in no loot and more bad feelings

--------------------------------------

Notifications are bullshit. Let everyone have equal chance to be in the right place at the right time and come out on top.

No one ever said that simultaneous repops, no matter how they are done, will level the playing field between big guilds and small guilds. But you're blind if you can't see that repops with some warning ahead of time work out better for small guilds than the current system does.

If you want more kills on more targets, you need to be bigger and/or more "dedicated." That's the bottom line on here.

I know I have a degree in advanced mathematics and I can't possibly expect everyone else to but, from what I gather, and I've double checked many times, 1 > 0.

Not to brag as well but, peer reviewing this post and it checks out.

Also with a degree in theoretical mathematics. I may be out of my field of expertise here, as we are dealing with applied math, but I do think that I can concur.

Confirmed by a second source, 1 is in fact greater than 0. But in other news, 1=2.

It's just one reset per week from what I understand. Give it a chance.

epic multiquesting needs to be disabled too btw pieces become less valuable when you have 30 minutes to sell them as opposed to an indefinite amount of time

Not classic, bro.
Neither is variance, or week long poopsocking, or selling epics for 700k.

I was mostly reffering to the "Change VP" thing- aka change it so everyone can get it with out trying. GM free VP is very much classic.

As for less variance and random "patch days" thats all great, first thing I told my guild was "I dont think we will be able to lock everything down 100% with all the mobs that will be popping at the speed they will" and honestly- thats fine...if we did we would burn ourselves out...so either 1) thats the point, others get some chances or 2) thats the point, burn out and die! muahahahahahaha!111!!!one!!!11
