Split a period of one year into chunks of 30 minutes - there are 17520 of these chunks in a year. Say you want Talendor to spawn 52 times a year - then every 30 minutes, the server/zone does a check if Talendor isn't already up, and at the start of the chunk (or maybe at a random point within the chunk), the RNG is run and there is a 52/17520 or 0.2968% chance that Talendor will spawn.

I GUARANTEE YOU such a change would decrease the amount of tracking across the board from the zerg guilds and would afford the smaller guilds more ample an opportunity to have a shot at Talendor. Yes TMO will still get more targets than Divinity, but I 100% absolutely guarantee you that the smaller guilds will have a larger share of attempts under this system.

Add to this some simulated (or real) patches involving server repops, and suddenly, in my opinion, the raid scene is looking a lot more promising for the casual player.

If you think TMO or FE or IB or whoever can maintain that level of focus on tracking over an extended period of time, you are wrong. But honestly though I think Velious will alleviate most of the grievances. Kunark is just too fucking old.
