I don't know if variance is an issue that relates directly to me, but as a member of maybe the largest casual guild on the server it breaks my heart that a lot of our members that need these contested targets will likely have to quit and join a poopsock guild, or just never get their epics. I would love to roll a ranger and relive my "glory" days from Live on this server, but unless I join TMO or FE and the mess that is the end game on this server I'd never be able to get my lightning swords and that sucks.
I'm hoping Velious will help this. I'm not sure getting rid of variance will. Though I poked my head in the door at the latest VS poopsock and frankly I was grossed out by what I saw. Maybe it's rose tinted glasses, but back on Prexus server on live, even among the uber guilds there was a sense of honor and friendliness that doesn't seem to exist here. I didn't have any trouble getting a shot at VS back in the day and I was in a casual guild half the size of my current guild. Right now it seems like this server is run and played by Goons from Something Awful.
