The way you guys talk about it you'd think it's some roulette wheel and it just randomly spins and picks a mob to pop. The variance starts from the time the mob dies. That means the guild that kills the mobs [which will be Nihilum on the initial pop for 13/15 of them] will have the initial timer. They will then park alts there in the window, because the majority of my guild plays EverQuest as a profession. The following week they will have the timer and you won't. The problem will only exacerbate itself as you will have no idea what the windows are any longer. The whole notion that you'll just casually raid hate and Innoruuk will pop is lol worthy.
You are just arguing the point that favors you... right now. Can you honestly say there is no strong case for variance? Depending on the windows there would be no way for Nihilum to maintain every spawn with PVP. Take a zone like VP. Also you act like timers are some kind of secret.. sorry everyone has everyones timer so that is no secret. EVER.

I agree that they will not randomly raid hate and all of a sudden they zone in and inny is up. However, them wanting to do hate and seeing 4 trackers in the zone might be a good indicator that he's going to spawn at some point in the window and your trackers would die. Then you would no longer know.

I know it's hard, but if you are going to talk about it at least be objective... I've said many times there are positives and negatives. I still do think that it would be better than the current raid situation.
