we should definitely introduce variance.

There are only two types of players who aren't interested in variance (and those two groups aren't even entirely disjoint). The first group of people are players in Nihilum--people who would stand to lose time and/or pixels if variance were introduced. The second group of people are blewbs/ignoranuses that think variance on red would somehow be comparable to variance on blue.

For instance...

I love how you guys keep saying variance will raise the pop. Complete bullshit, you guys don't log on now why would variance suddenly get you the 50 required to PvP a mob away from Nihilum?

Just say it like it is, you want some pity dragons from the Devs since you can't take it on your own. We can even get a nice catch phrase for this, call it EQ Obamacare, or better yet call it Nizzarcare.

Variance isn't going to make you and yours log in. You know it and I know it.

I'm convinced that anyone who supports this idea never played on blue.

Doesn't matter how many people say the same thing Gradner, Lite and co. believe poopsocking leads to PVP somehow.

Some of them are actually dumb enough to believe that any change may somehow turn the tides in their favor, but most of them are just trolling about variance because they want grief Nihilum as hard as they can by wasting thousands of hours of their EQ time sitting around tracking mobs.

In no way does it raise the pop. It does absolutely nothing but grief members of the guilds willing to track mobs and leads to completely uncontested boss encounters as opposed to affording the opportunity to contest mobs on a known timer.

Must not have played on blue ever. Blue has had variance for sometime. An FFA raid mob living for 5 minutes would be some kind of miracle.

How unexpected.
