Abundance of loot typically doesn't stop top guilds from contesting mobs, as they can just sell the extra loot (see: trak guts, earth staffs, maestro hands, etc.).

The rest of your post is an argument for variance, and you make some decent points, but not for leaving it the way it is where windows for 7 day spawns are up to 4 days long. It should be cut into 1/4 of what it is now, if not 1/8.
Where are you statistics supporting 1/4 or 1/8? why not 1/2 or 1/16? person preference?


There will be no need to contest dragons for cash. Esp since most kunark drops will be non-sellers. Maybe epic pieces for alts/apps but I can guarantee we will be more much interested in velious. Just like in live when the new expansion came out the top dogs moved there and the casual/family guilds took the previous content.
