Of course not, but their attempt here is to recreate classic, which did not have random 7-9 day spawns. Even worse, there are far more capable level 50's than classic.
The turnover rate of players is already high. When end game is a sock fest instead of the exciting race it was in classic, it's even worse. When the same people on my friends list have logged in since the server opened don't show up anymore, there might be an issue. Will Kunark fix that if they keep the current boss spawn system? Sure, temporarily. The shit I used to hear every day about how excited people were about raiding in Kunark has turned into "well... I'll be happy do some sebilis I guess?"
Of course the devs will say they don't do it for the players, but I highly doubt they would have a team of devs if only 5 players were on the server even if nilbog says otherwise. It's a sense of accomplishment to see 800 players a night knowing 90%+ of the players that come to this server stayed or left happy. I wouldn't actually mind contributing myself since I actually have free time at work, but, lol... I don't see them allowing that.
I am echoing the sentiments of many past and present players who would *love* to continue this end game as it was in classic. I've done it in a mostly polite manner, and there has been nothing back from devs but dismissal. The "best" reason I've seen out of nilbog for not doing simulated patch days was that the "creators probably wouldn't have wanted respawn on hardware down time," which I find hard to believe considering how long it lasted.
I feel the real reason is they don't want to "give in to the players," or set a precedent for doing so. Though, one would think with the success from the database crash and rogeans respawn a couple weeks ago....
