Variance - Automatic Sim repops? Staff should take player suggestions to up pvp

[Kergan]

As much as I think variance would be a bad idea, the "mobs are left up" argument doesn't really hold water either. The whole idea behind variance is pretty much the opposite - you DONT know what's up.

That being said, comparing variance to simulated repops doesn't make sense either. The reason nobody minded sim pops was because it essentially added extra loot drops and didn't take any away.

At this point I just say add it for a couple weeks so it is proven once and for all it makes no difference so these threads are no longer needed.

every single raid mob in the game is left up at minimum for 24 hours and at maximum for 96 hours every week

variance would not affect our guild whatsoever

it would not affect the current server dynamic where Empire is the only guild attempting to kill velious raid targets (aside from TMO killing Vindi every now and then)

go ahead, add it in

nothing would change

Sim repops make a zerg work harder in order to control every spawn. Which in turn makes it easier for the rest of the server.


Because if something is not a set time in everquest, you lose 20-30 % of your raid force at a minimum.

If off prime time you lose even more.



Not complicated, obviously the zerg does not want that

People outside the zerg want it


Stop trying to convince everyone of stupid ass ideas of how "mobs are left up"

As it has been stated before, soon as any sign of another raid force being able to kill it shows its face, its added to the zerg cycle. Like skill-less locust they decimate the land with 2 to 3x the numbers you need for any encounter.

Complete facepalm.

Literally would not change a thing. Maybe more crappy kunark targets?
