The reality is the competition rules are still not fun. Sirken made a pretty good go of it, but in the end "competing" over most outdoor Kunark mobs always going to be either a) random or b) based on who is doing dumb shit at the keyboard for hours. Ironically, the one zone that is somewhat skill based is completely off limits to Class R!

I hope Velious will fix this a bit: we'll have three times as many targets and guilds won't be able to faceroll their keyboards and win (well, on some of them at least). However, I predict an explosion of neckbeardery the like of which the world has never seen when Velious is finally released, so in the short term it might not be an improvement.

My personal solution: eliminate normal spawns, script repops to happen automatically ~4 times per week (but reduce the loot tables by 1/2, so the same number of pixels we get now more or less), add code to move everyone's toons to the nearest city so no one can camp out for this stuff, and ditch the R/C/FFA system. It's not exactly classic, but then neither is what we have here.
