Raid scene: Variance Socking

Complete removal of variance would cause a zerg fte fuckfest worse than we have seen even on low window vs pre extended Windows, but it would be the option most friendly to casual and hard core raider alike. Just have the mob spawn with someone targeted like it used to be and play fte lottery .

Certainly would be less consuming on each individuals time. Guilds would know when to stay the hell out of Hate if they don't want to be accidentally trained and arent interested / capable of doing Inny. For example.

I still like the idea of setting everyone in random zones. Or even just insta-poofing everyone in zone (including anyone who happens to be logged) to the succor point and then watching the resulting trainwreck to see who can get FTE without then dumping a train on themselves / someone else and eating a raid suspension.

You're wrong. I love you, but there are rules that would stop this...2 tracker rule who can't fte etc. All you need at that point is "IF guild has more than 3 players at spawn in zone they forfeit their opportunity".

I'm not saying it's the only answer. I'm saying it is an answer and a very simple (and classic) compromise. Turns raiding into a slot machine but at least then it wouldn't be time consuming.

It's Kunark and it's almost over. We have a system of races now that is the funnest part of the game for most of us. Drop the Variance as much as possible and let people race before Velious releases.

This is true. Can't really complain.
