Quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard, as I already have everything I could want 4 years into kunark, but keep trying. I believe its the threat of you NOT getting pixels that is driving your support for this stupid and non-classic mechanic to be piled onto a list of already stupid, non-classic mechanics such as, I dont know, the entire Class C/R/FFA system that was implemented.
Dont get me wrong, the system has worked well thus far, and the server is certainly a better place for everyone to play but...when is enough enough? If you want free shit, or you want to trigger your raid mobs, EZ server is pretty successful and conveniently located on the same server list as P99.

Fine print is important. That being said though... Variance is the devil. Anything is better than variance. Rewarding players for doing NOTHING BUT STARING AT A WALL FOR 16 HOURS... Is quite possibly the most dumb thing to be produced by this server. Extended 96 hour variance before hand is the only dumber thing I could think of.
Anything that gets away from Variance is good. Rewarding neckbeard's for staring at a pixel wall all of their waking hours of a day is bad. I got roped into sitting in KC for like an hour for VS the other day and even though I was AFK for most of that, I wanted to stab someone in the eye over how dumb it was that 40+ people were just sitting there and would continue to for the next 15 hours.
No variance let people who want to compete do so with fast reactions, and solid strategies. Not whoever is more likely to be awake and stare at a wall for longer
