About Spawn variance....

[Humerox]

With the exception of some older players, most don't understand why the rules changed on the server to begin with.

I'll admit that these rules aren't perfect, but we are trying to work in the best interest of everyone with the limited resources we have. To me, there are 2 big problems right now that we are trying to work around.

A.) There are more raid-ready guilds than there is raid content.
B.) Camping raid mobs is not illegal.

There are too many guilds to include in a rotation with not enough content to go around fairly. Also, if a guild wants to sit in a zone for 4 days straight to have first dibs at a spawn, they may. With the guild meeting and the above rules, we are trying to promote races to content and discourage raid camping.

The current problem was foreseen, but wasn't addressed. Time to change that. Takes work, but the server has done it before. The rules were written by the guilds on the server, and the abuse demands a rewrite.

So that reads like this:

We found an answer!
But what about camping?
Well what about camping?
We must solve the camping issue!
It is, look here, it is explicitly allowed!
(Random dude that also appears in this thread) I approve! (and btw I'm not a hypocrite)

Not good.

True, but wasn't the point of the post.

Point of the post was that the guilds on the server changed the rules, and the rules can be changed again. Everyone was aware that camping could be a problem under the new rules.

What everyone's mistake was, that we were silly enough to believe that everyone wanted to actually compete. The whole premise of the 15 persons in zone was based upon mobilization.

The only reason DA and IB get the boss mobs they do is because they camp. There are guilds on the server that would wipe the floor with them if they actually competed. Most of IB isn't the old-school IB that was here before. And DA has never had the nuts to try and mobilize. Prolly don't know how.
