P.s there already is mob overlap on Sunday and you guys even with advance notice of when mobs pop STILL can't contest. Now that might change with the merge and more members (though you still lack a Kringe type leader), but it sure isn't changing with variance. You guys going to have multiple people in EJ / SF / KC / TD / Hate? You can barely even track anymore, I guarantee if this goes in there will be a drive to roll ranger alts in nihilum and dkp awarded for sitting in all of these zones 24/7. Variance was supposed to save blue as well, and yet all it has done has actually solidified TMO's ability to hold down 95% of all mobs.

Listen I get it, I also want competition, it's why I considered variance at one point. But if you critically think about it you'll see that its fools gold. You guys say over and over how bad nihilum is at pvp. Now with the merge and some leveling you'll have the chance to prove that on the battlefield and take the mobs. Variance will give you basically no shot of that as your members come home from work or wake up to find out that another mob was killed by nihilum. You're playing right into our greatest strength.

p.s. look how variance helped blue and LoZ. Look at variance in the history of other games like EQ and EQ/. All it does is burn everyone out except the ones with the most neckbeards. No better way to kill the server than this.
