Lower variance to a couple hours so it feels like useless to stay logged in and camp the mobs but dont introduce weekly simulated loot pinatas days.

Why would lowering variance be better than taking it away completely? And why not do the weekly/bi weekly resets? Even if you lower the variance it still works out the same and TMO will still be able to obtain 90%+ of the targets. With no variance it would be a complete mess with poopsocking but after a while of the completely random FTE(based on the lucky victim the target chooses upon spawning) guilds will get tired of it and work something out to save everyone the headache. Resets would further guarantee that one guild cannot dominate the entire raid scene. If GMs don't want to deal with the poopsocking they could ad in the FTE shout that everyone keep asking for, sure its not classic but coupled with no variance and resets it'd be alot closer than the crap we have now.

Given how long things have stayed the same, I don't think 18 minutes without a post was putting action in jeopardy.

Should remove completely variance, it's not classic. Have a GM manage the situations, and let Rogean enjoy the pleasure to see the tiny world he created in eternal war. Make it as classic as you can, that's the spirit of the server!

It's like the stupid fuckers staying in front of shops waiting for the iPhone 5 to be sold... if they want to loose their time there and to look totally retarded to everyone they can...

I hope I offended someone at least with my iPhone story!

Anyway I'm not guilded or raiding... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

One of the reasons why I think a shorter variance is better than no variance is because we have a dedicated population of european/non-western players. I believe on Live they had their own servers, but here we only have one server, so we should accomodate them. It would be unfair if everything spawned at 10PM EST every week, when it's 3 (4?) in the morning for the brits. Window sizes all have the same effect on euro players modulo 24 so there's no reason to have 96 hour windows - 24 hour windows would suffice (though it should probably be even shorter than that).

Removing Variance is not an option, anyone that's been around this server since before it was implemented can tell you why. And it certainly will not alleviate the dominance of top guilds over the rest of them.. it will make matters worse, only it will be a clusterfuck for the staff as well.

If variance absolutely has to remain then it should stay unchanged. Shortening the variance isnt gonna give smaller guilds any better shot at challenging larger guilds. It will only make the larger guilds have to invest less time. I guess if we could at least get weekly or bi weekly server resets then that would give small guilds a shot still but any repops in between will still pretty much belong to TMO.
