Competition is what makes this server fun. You think the 30sec-2min boss fights are what do it for people? Nope!

what competition? tracking for 4 days because of a non-classic mechanic, competition? that's not competition. Competition is all raiding guilds capable of downing a target there. That's competition.

Shiftin, you'd be able to make 70-80% of raids if it were dumped. Furthermore, you'd know exactly when your free time is beforehand.

But the one argument that trumps anything anyone can possibly think of that defends variance is this: It's not classic.

I didn't say anything to defend the variance. I'm a simulate patch day guy myself [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

simulated patch day has nothing to do with it and is a separate issue altogether. But, yes, I'm glad they actually started repopping on patch days too.

Classic EQ is about some kids having toys to show off in EC and others not. That's why we see so many power-gamers and heavy competition at end-game in P1999. God knows why they care so much. God only knows.

Rotation didn't exist on other servers, so it is my opinion that it also "classic."

it existed on servers, as did FTE and as did FFA. There were timers (30mins to get it or it's fair game) or even KSing. There were servers where monks wouldn't attack a target because they were busy training other guilds. Hearing about wizard-only groups wasn't uncommon either. These were all player and/or GM decided. The stupid variance server-side mechanic, though, was never on any EQ live server for any period of time. That's strictly a retarded p99 thing.
