An alternative to variance

Not that I understand what you guys are getting at by talking about a rotation in a thread about FFA variance/socking, but just to clarify, you would get a shot at it once every 30 weeks. R slots come along 1/3 of the time.

The rub was that guilds would gimpatron up for mobs like Gore and disperse for shit like VS, creating actual scenarios where you'd see your shot at the mob once every 30 weeks. It would have been acceptable if all those guilds could kill the rest of the mobs solo, but they couldn't and that's why we introduced gatekeepers in a tiered progression system.

I thought the thread was about the best solutions to the poopsocking problem (rotation!) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And yeah that number was just to be a simple example (1/10) and not based on server circumstances.

I think the issue with the second point is because guilds are just put on the rotation for all mobs by default. Though, every person I spoke with seemed to appreciate that concern and be willing to come to a reasonable solution (that did not involve making Gore a gatekeeper).
