I really enjoy the racing and don't mind competing for mobs. I don't mind tracking while doing other stuff on my other monitor, but sitting typing /target Venril for 4 hours at a time sucks, but it's the way things are right now if you want to kill him. However, I will it is a rush when you do get the FTE, I thoroughly enjoyed it this week.

The idea behind a random repop day is that you would reset the timers more regularly and give an opportunity to more people if that's what you're after without putting some restriction on any one guild. If TMO REALLY wanted more of those mobs we'd be forced to do more with less and split our forces into multiple targets and create a challenge. If the repop happend weekly or bi-weekly you'd reduce the time stuff is "in window" ie Poopsock time. Weekly would be best to achieve this. You'd still have a chance for stuff to spawn, and potentially some stuff would even spawn more often if they were up mid-week, but I see it as a better way to counteract at least some of the sock-offs.

If you enjoy the competition why not have a world wide message that say's "X-mob will spawn in 30 minutes". Then everybody, even the ec mules, will know its time to log the main and truck it. Make the spawn time always happen during prime time hours so that the majority will have a chance. I know it would suck for the euro guilds and I don't know how to resolve that.

Basically you get home from work at 5pm and play till 10pm and sometime in between you may see a server message that says "Trak will spawn in 30 minutes!" Then may the best muster guild win.
