Kill variance. (Not classic)
Nix FTE (even less classic)
Enforce force in zone/near spawn + PNP (both classic)

Result: TMO parked at ::insert VP mob here 24/7::, FE parked at ::insert VP mob not the one TMO is currently socking::.

While this is happening the rest of the server can do/raid whatever the fuck they want, however the fuck they want. They will hardly ever poopsock because this isn't hardcore land where virtual life > basement life.

Last but certainly not least. It will end the Fraps rules laying era.

The only ones against such a policy are the ones who would be willing to sock anyway (the 2.5%).

Inb4 casual scum/who are you
FE parks 15 toons at VS spawn, 15 toons at tal, and 15 toons at trak. TMO parks 15 toons at CT, 15 toons at inny and 15 toons at sev. They leave vp alone cause vp sucks and they're the only two guilds that can get in anyway. No variance means they know when each of these mobs will spawn, so they set up their force 6.9 days in advance to make sure they are the first ones there. Engage afk poopsock, rotate guards to make sure your afk force doesn't get wiped by a pathing mob. Once mob spawns and goes down, re-engage afk poopsock. Mobs locked forever, gg.

The fact that tiggles endorsed your plan so quickly should clue you into why its such a horrible idea. We took these mechanics and rules out for a reason. First in force on a server like this is literally the worst possible way to handle the raid scene.
