I don't disagree with you. I just think a varied spawn timer gives everyone an equal chance at being the first to find a mob spawned and act accordingly.

Even if every player on the server knew Naggy will spawn at 10:22am Monday morning, you'll still have drama about who was there first and who trained who while clearing fire giants, etc etc. With the variance, there's seems to be more of a cut and dry 'who was there first' (to me at least). Again, there is no one solution that will be 100% fair to everyone, we're just working with the lesser of the evils.
Disagreements are always gonna be struck, but drama does not have to prevail everywhere. lets start acting like adults, and respect each other in game, without GMs having to babysit us over any dispute, which is what is happening anyways with vague spawn variance rules.

Divinity has not killed Vox or Innoruuk due to the varied spawn time yet. We've had our chances and due to whatever reason at the time we couldn't gather the force needed to down these mobs before someone else did. It sucks, but I accept that as part of the game.
as does Transcendence.

IB puts in the work and the hours required to have these mobs on lockdown. I'd love to be able to say they have GM help or use hacks, but it's simply not true. Every time I check Vox or Naggy on my tracker, IB is there waiting. If that's how they choose to spend their time in-game, then that's ok with me. They have been rewarded for that time spent tracking and camping mob spawns. I, along with a lot of my guildmates choose to spend our time doing other things, and it comes at the cost of not killing as many raid bosses.
yes indeed, IB is master campers, once again, congrats. lets take it to the next level for them then, and increase camping time, to actually give them a challenge, since they are masters in this field.

I also think this is a temporary problem. Right now there are few enough real raid bosses that one dedicated guild can keep them on lockdown. Come Plane of Air and Kunark that will no longer be the case.
I wanna agree with you, but i believe the dramafest will continue with the current system, until we can start acting like adults, and GMs leave it be for classical purposes. Earn your respect in game, and be respected by others.
