I'll post once and then Divinity is staying out of this.
We have 3 options for raid bosses:
A.) 7 day static spawn to the minute (i.e. Vox spawns next Thursday at 7:03pm)
B.) 7 day variant spawn +/- 48 hours (i.e. Vox spawns sometime in the next 120 hours)
C.) Rotation. (Fish Bait gets Vox)
Option C is off the table. There are too many guilds who can kill raid bosses if given the chance, and there is not enough end-game content to spread around to everyone evenly. Option A encourages spawn camping more than anything. First guild to have 15 people sitting at a staging area 24 hours before the known spawn time wins.

I completely agree with option C being off the table.
Option a doesnt encourage camping more than option B does. and if by god, a guild wants to camp a dragon for 7 days, i bow down to you.

That leaves option B. Between now and the next 120 hours, a boss will spawn. This option gives all guilds the same chance to track, mobilize and kill said spawn. If individuals want to camp a tracker in the zone for 5 days straight, so be it. We all have that option available to us.

If we're circling around to camping for 5 days straight, what is the whole purpose of the new system? camping is virtually the same in classical rules. and yes, we would all still have that option available.

You're argument against a spawn variance is very, very weak. If someone is so inclined to hack in order to gain an advantage on raid bosses, a few threads on the forums aren't going to stop them. It is up to the guilds to police their own members, and the devs to do what they can to track and detect hackers. If there was one member of my guild who constantly was alerting us that a boss was going to spawn, I'd have to question him. That said, with this thread you are accusing IB, Divinity, Fish Bait, In Virtue, Gothic Circle, Europa, and every other guild of hacking. Not only did you accuse us of this, you linked a site for a hacking program so anyone temped to use such programs knows right where to go. Stupid idea.

It is up to the guilds and GM to police members, but if we get down to it, honesty will not always prevail. and im not accusing Fish bait, IB divinity, in virtue, gothic circle, europa, and every other guild of hacking, im saying there is the POSSIBILITY, and i would much rather rid of that possibility. your just interpreting it in your own manner.
I linked a site for a hacking program? i dont know of any.
You want to know where Divinity stands, and I think I speak for my whole guild when I say we support the spawn variance. It may not be the 100% perfect solution, but it's the best of the above 3 options.[/QUOTE]
If variance is what you guys support, i appreciate the feedback. Thank you Divinity.
