However, if everyone knew when a raid mob would spawn, the only thing determining who gets loot would be FTE or who received EXP. It becomes a camp then, wait the timer out and you can pluck off the mob when it respawns. Variance actually caters to the larger guild(s) that can field a raid force at any hour, on demand, instead of only during the hour the mob is guaranteed to spawn. Mobilization is effectively moot. Raid size is effectively moot (as all would engage at the same moment, so the mob is guaranteed to die).

I am serious. You have a bard epic (or more) rotting/for sale, BPs are for sale, and you've given Trak's teeth to L51 alts. What do you need Trak for other than to deny other guilds BPs/teeth/epics? And that's just one example. TMO admits their VP tracking bot has a full set of VP weapons. Please, explain why you are killing mobs other than to deny the mobs to other groups. Keeping the items scarce through any form of denial is no different than what IB did to TMO.
  • Tokens: Server rules dictate the person who spawns a mob is entitled to that mob. How would tokens be any different? I've seen this on Keeper in Sky.
  • Rotations: You wouldn't know it because you didn't exist yet, but Trak was on rotation. You wouldn't know it because you didn't exist yet, but Ragefire wasn't always on rotation. Rotation has been good to stop the poopsocking on Ragefire. Trak rotation allowed people to not spend >75% of their time camped out on poop mountain. I've spent my time camped out on poop mountain, have you?
  • Static Spawns: Epic mobs (that aren't raid targets) are still static spawns. The first force to show up with adequate numbers is entitled to first shot at the mob, per server rules. I've helped with static, long-term epic spawns. I'm almost sure you have too (unless you are even more greedy than I think you are).
Why am I explaining this to you again? O ya, because you don't have any experience on your own to already know this.

You aren't arguing for the server, you are arguing for bda, every raid mob we left up went to bda recently- its hard for much smaller guilds like taken, acyrid, divinity, etc to compete against that if we start leaving more mobs up( which will prob happen soon anyways) they will just go to BDA so get off your high horse, you are just begging for scraps again.
