No, but I imagine it was full of poopsocking. I guess I didn't make this clear but I don't think the variance should be removed entirely. The main reason I say this is because this is an international server, and european players would be screwed if everything spawned at 6 in the morning for them. What I don't understand is why the variance is 96 hours long for 7 day spawns, when a 24 hour window would accomplish the same goals? A mob is just as likely to spawn at 8PM if the window is 24 hours long vs. 96 hours long, it just changes the day on which it might spawn at that time, and also makes it mind numbingly harder for casual players and smaller guilds to compete.

I think either the variance should be shortened substantially, or there should be simultaneous repops, or both.
