because this way only a handful of people sit there the whole time. if it were 4hours, the whole server would neglect their families and pack raid zones for the window.

Hey man if it was up to me, mob windows would be 10 minutes long and set in such a way that they didn't always center around the same time zone spawn after spawn. Instead of 72h +-8h, for example, they'd be 66h +- 5m.

Imagine if instead of showing up, buffing up, parking and/or socking for 16 hours before you get to race for the mob, everyone shows up, buffs up, and gets ready to race immediately. Sounds like a lot more fun to me.

As it is I'm not sure what the windows accomplish, 4h, 16h, or 72h. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sorry I forgot - make mobs in window 1hr after death and remove any rules about camping spawns/being past zonelines. Gotta get rid of coth races/train pulls as much as possible too. Now you can set up a Friday night NToV raid and maybe something will spawn you can clear to or are already near. Now the zones can be playable again. Also less petitions, GMs just auto-reply "Sorry you're feeling bad, but your raid mob is likely already in window again before we get to this" #makezonesfreeagain
