The modifications to try to make raid "competition" less asinine have completely backfired. The server staff used to care about reducing retarded sock-fests, because it is a huge waste of everyone's time. But now sock-fests seem to be encouraged? I don't get it.

Tracking for 96 hours is also a huge waste of everyone's time. I'm sure Sirken and Derubael have Rool's attitude: "We reduced the variance and so you asshats started socking. If you want to stop wasting time, talk to each other and stop doing it". Phiren has a post on the raid discussion forums which was completely ignored by everyone who is doing the CoH ducking.
It's just not an easy problem to fix: the Kunark targets are simply too easy. I think the only legitimate competition is repops, an idea which was actually shot down during the negotiations last year because a) TMO/FE knew they wouldn't get nearly as many mobs if they weren't able to neckbeard out and b) TMO/FE claimed they wouldn't have anything better to do with their lives if they couldn't poopsock. In hind sight, all those posts by Unbrella about how he loved the competition with TMO look more than a little silly. Or would, if they weren't deleted. CONSPIRACY NP.
Quite frankly, I would even be willing to accept the Doraf system (8 repops a month, no normal spawns, everything FFA) as long as all L50+ characters got teleported to a city zone so the advantage of camping 10 different alt armies at every target was minimized. Not that my opinion really matters.
