Well, you put it in RnF where it was destined to end up.
Join date less than a year old and you don't understand how the server ended up this way. You don't say...
The problem isn't spawn windows. The problem is some people get their kicks from feeling superior when they deny other people the opportunity at something. That's what makes their endorphins flow. The spawn windows was a "hey, stop it" from the admins to try to give other people a shot at something.
Back in the kunark days there was a guild that was so on top of things no one else had the opportunity to try a boss mob to learn techniques. IIRC, the idea was to make the spawn window so long no one would sit through it all. Unfortunately some neckbeards are so thick they will sit through a large minority of their day waiting for an imaginary dragon to spawn and hit the batphone. The idea of dropping spawn windows has come up several time throughout the years, the answer from the top is generally something like: you guys(and girls) treat another like animals. You've proven time and again you won't change. Spawn Windows are staying. Same for decreasing window duration.
On top of this, can you imagine how hard some people would have this server on lockdown if they knew the exact second a bossmob was going to spawn? They could be in, kill it, and log off before anyone knew they were there. How does anyone have a chance if they have to actively track for days to find when something spawn? It's pretty tough keeping track of spawn windows as it is. Doing it the other way would be worse. No thank you.

Since you've been here a long time, whats the verdict? Because looking at this objectively, we still have multiple people from multiple guilds spending 8-24 hours (per mob) spamming tracking/pet tracking macros to make sure we have a chance to kill internet dragons. And every week I come to RnF and people are being animals to each other. So what I'm seeing is everything is still the same, we just have longer spawn windows. In your opinion has it changed for the better with these oppressive windows?
