Q1: what variance would you need to deter 99% of the server from socking.

Q2: who is the biggest beard on the server? What’s the limit to their depravity?

No gigs-nerds or hepta-beards that are carrying water for smaller guilds?

This would be accurate if 98% of raid targets didn't all spawn within 1-2 days, those days having been the weekend recently.

Always found it paradoxical how the server staff want to reduce socking with variance and yet at the same time want guilds to raid in a competitive manner with myriad raid rules. These two goals are at odds with one another. Then the players are faulted for, well, playing.

Oh I'm not saying mobs should spawn more often, I'm saying the windows should be extremely short. That's the only way you'd effectively end poopsocking. 7 day spawns could still be 7 day spawns, just with 10 minute windows instead of 16h windows.

They'll NEVER do that, but it would end poopsocking and guilds that specifically avoid targets where poopsocking is a requirement wouldn't have that barrier to entry anymore.
that would just make poopsocking easier

I don't think 10 minutes counts as poopsocking anymore, unless you have irritable bowel syndrome or something.

How quick did these bosses die in era back in the day? I was too busy being a casual with a life to give a shit.

In era most players were lvl 1-40 still. 50+ would have to scrape together barely enough to down some raid mobs once or twice a week. 1/2 or more of the end content would be up most days until Luclin and on when guilds would start locking down all expansion content.

All mobs dying within 2 mins of spawning like they do here is extremely unclassic for era.
