Making the variance shorter would still be a shit show. Sev, an outdoor dragon with like 6 or 7 guilds going after it at once illustrated that. It's just how FFA is. The game mechanics just can't entertain 200+ people going after the same mob. The only reason class C is relatively peaceful is there's only two guilds butting heads. If two or three class R guilds decided to go C like they claim to want, and if those two or three guilds put in as much time as the current class C guilds do poopsocking mobs, it'd be a shit show every single spawn.

class C wants competition, until that competition deprives them of pixels, because deep down they only want pixels

Quit making me agree with you, Chest.

Everyone knows that the reason that the levels of "competition" for content is due to so many high level raid capable guilds. That's an absolute given. We've been in this exact situation for years. The issue now is managing the situation and unfortunately a raid system has to be in place because IB and TMO would take every last fucking pixel if the opportunity was available. That's why we are where we are today. It's the core of those two guilds and their complete inability to respect a raidforce. The mentality that if the mob is alive then it's still fair game is complete bullshit.

Oh god what the hell is this?

Yes - this! So many times this!

Let's just make it C / R / R / R / R / R then repeat since you guys have most of the people anyways.

First time Jeremy ever wrote anything sensible.
