Does Chest have a solution or is he going against the grain just because someone else suggested it and it's a conspiracy? Put up or shut up.

I'm not sure exactly which solution Chest prefers you'd have to ask him but almost all of us that raid in this game know of and agree on some solutions. The issue is the staff can't/won't make them happen. Repops are HANDS DOWN the most fun I have playing this game. If they happened anywhere NEAR the amount we were told they would happen I don't think we'd be having all these discussions about how fucked everything is all the time. Not everyone agrees on the exact details of how often/when they should happen but I haven't met 1 person that thinks more earthquakes is a bad idea. Make earthquakes automatically happen once a week with some kind of variance and I guarantee you 90% of the issues are gone.
The second solution is cutting variance drastically. Again not everyone agrees on exactly how much but almost everyone agrees (Except Sirken for some reason) it should be less than 16 hours. It's absolutely absurd that people are staring at spawnpoints for up to 16 hrs straight multiple times a week just to get a CHANCE at getting FTE on some dragon. I personally think windows should be somewhere around 4 hours. As it currently stands almost nobody in BDA is willing/able to facetrack/bindsight targets for 16 hr windows. Judging by how few people from other guilds outside A/A are showing up for the races I can safely assume that the same is the case for all the other guilds too. I can almost guarantee the vast majority of A/A members are totally unwilling to do it too. They just ride on the coat tails of their hardcore supernerd members that do it for them. What do you think the chances are that more ppl would show up and be willing to race if they knew it was a max of 4 hours instead of 16? I'd say pretty fucking high. I know I'd show up a lot more. We also need a max racers per guild rule really badly and a ban on Crown of Rile despite whatever the fuck Aftermath says.
Third possible solution is a rotation but I really don't like this idea much myself. There's too many guilds that would want a spot on the rotation for everything. People would try to weasel multiple rotation slots for guilds belonging to the same alliance. A/A would almost guaranteed form alt guilds to clog up the rotation further. It'd require a lot of rules that people will bitch endlessly about just to make it work decently. I can already hear the sound of Swish typing up a shitpost "Something something BDA something rotation something something cats.gif"
