Because they have <5% of their guild willing to sit at FFA mobs tracking and <1% of their guild willing to CotH duck.

The Class R guilds do it for 1-2 mobs too, not the 3 Class C, 4 FFA and 6 VP.

Plus the rules for getting out of Class C aren't explained. People are hesitant to even test the waters. If there were something that dropped you to Class R if you don't make a Class C or VP kill for 2 weeks... maybe it would be worth testing for some guilds.

But I am guessing you didn't care about a real answer.

The reality is the competition rules are still not fun. Sirken made a pretty good go of it, but in the end "competing" over most outdoor Kunark mobs always going to be either a) random or b) based on who is doing dumb shit at the keyboard for hours. Ironically, the one zone that is somewhat skill based is completely off limits to Class R!

I hope Velious will fix this a bit: we'll have three times as many targets and guilds won't be able to faceroll their keyboards and win (well, on some of them at least). However, I predict an explosion of neckbeardery the like of which the world has never seen when Velious is finally released, so in the short term it might not be an improvement.

My personal solution: eliminate normal spawns, script repops to happen automatically ~4 times per week (but reduce the loot tables by 1/2, so the same number of pixels we get now more or less), add code to move everyone's toons to the nearest city so no one can camp out for this stuff, and ditch the R/C/FFA system. It's not exactly classic, but then neither is what we have here.

the solution is simple, either get rid of the FFA cycle all together and make it so that on full repops it's always FFA, or make it so the FFA cycle mobs all spawn simultaneously for the week which eliminates the 4-5 guilds waiting at the last hour of the mob together coth ducking like a bunch of fucking mongos

Hmm, I wonder if we could make this happen. Repops are about 1/3 of mobs, so the rough R/C/FFA distribution would be unchanged. Maybe we could add a special VP-IS-FFA-ON-REPOPS too; it would be funny to watch a ton of R guilds training the hell out of the zone in and getting raid suspended.

I don't think this is true.
