Look at dojo now, everyone knows when he spawns. About ~ 1 hour prior to his spawn 100 people pile up on his spawn point hoping to get FTE.

Waiting for a spawn for 1 hour isn't really poopsocking is it?

Never addressing the real problem. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I can't imagine FTE ever happening on live, on my old server anyway, because it would lead to an instant and predictable clusterfuck. What the GMs tended to do was award the spawn to whatever guild was there "in force" first. (They had the force to kill it). If that couldn't be determined, they simply had the raid leaders /rand 100. Can't get much fairer than that.

They used to do that here. Then they stopped one day. Certain guilds are very happy with the result, everyone else isn't.

Note: FTE rule never happened on live. Ever.

sounds really lame

Regardless of when ppl show up to a mobs spawn, if 100 ppl are sitting there prior to mobs spawn its a poopsock. Removal of variance will only cause more people to show up, further creating headaches for players and staff.

Stop perpetuating this ignorance. Please.

How about the spawn of a raid target flags the zone for PvP? Time to Nut up or Shut up.
