Pulling a R Flair and posting this again, since these points are relevant to this discussion.

come on guys, its not rocket science...

with variance, when the mobs are randomly spawning, then obviously there will be competition for it since the other smaller guilds know that Nihilum doesn't have 50+ online heading there already.. (like they do when they know its going to spawn). and yes you might get 50+ for 5 of the variance spawns, but eventually we'll get an even fight.

under the current mechanics it will simply never happen. right now nihilum is the ones who are blocking competition just by bringing over half the server population for a dragon that takes 15-20 to kill. With Variance, this wont always happen. And that is what variance will accomplish.

population # doesn't matter, what matters is % . Over 50% being in the same guild is a problem, and variance will be the solution to these types of guilds.


TLDR - raid forces will not be gigantic zergs every time so #1 guild will have a more approachable force on some targets as opposed to 50+ for all targets in a small window.
