I think these special mobs should just be made to spawn more frequently, i.e. reduce the window size, but make the spawn time variable within the windows.

Reducing window size does not make mobs spawn more frequently.

You do know he is (basically) right, yeah? Mobs won't be able to spawn any later in their windows, but they won't be able to spawn any sooner as well. The mobs will spawn at the same average rate that they have been (pretty much)

I like the system the sleeper server has. Each guild with capable force has the ability to spawn 2 raid mobs per week. Everything else spawns according to timers and is FTE. That server is in SoV so maybe in Kunark 1 raid mob spawn per week. But then that brings up the issue with people forming guilds with the 300 alts they have purchased to get more triggered spawns. Pros and Cons to every system I guess.

That doesn't seem bad.

I wonder how guilds would pick their 1-2 spawned bosses every week, though. Maybe you'd try for an inny/ct/fay epic piece here or there or something... but wouldn't the vast, vast majority of guilds just kill trak or maybe vs every week?

Let's stick to the simple, classic solutions before we look at the complicated non-classic ones.

Simultaneous repop on a weeklyish simulated patch day with a complete server shut down and removal of variance is pretty much as classic as it can get.

Would be an insane number of cloak of flames and shit
