Okay Unbrella is right, sort of.

Increasing Variance will not stop poopsocking. It will just further alienate Class R guilds. Class C continues to sock with long windows, as was evidence of the raid scene a year ago.

Decrease Variance will only stop poopsocking if we can work together to make a palletable raid scene:


  • 30-60min windows.
  • 2 Foot Racers, 1 Tracker allowed
  • Foot Racers only have SoW - No selos, cheetah, scale, wolf form.
  • All agree to starting points. I will MSPaint the starting lines and post shall be stickied.
  • Foot Racers should either snap a quick screenshot of everyone at the kickoff / FRAPs the race if you're concerned about someone skirting the rules.
  • If someone gains FTE who is not those players, the violating guild is suspended for 2 weeks. (Obviously after the first engage and say a guild wipes, if FTE is then obtained by a non foot racer fine)
  • No guild may have more than 6 players in zone (to allow for some buffing/camping out?) and ideally just temporarily when it is in window/spawns. Also allows for apps to get exp in a random group in zone without penalizing... But prevents socking entire raids at KC entrance
  • Trakanon needs its own considerations.

So... If we cannot have Respawns, tell me what is bad about the above.

Looks pretty good to me. I'd say not a 2 week suspension. Maybe the guild has to sit out the next FFA cycle of that mob. If they make a mistake on one they can't compete on the next. We can probably push it to two if you feel that is too light.
