Why would FAT/bda/divinity support this if if it enabled smaller guild like anonymous more of an opportunity? I can't think of any other time (besides the guilds we ally with) people have made decisions that benefitted our progression over them getting more loot. Is this in hopes that rampage cannot go for other mobs outside sleepers? I fail to see how this just doesn't turn the few mobs that are open to us even more contested. 4 hour window sev? Why wouldn't every single guild be there? If something else was in window maybe it would just be an alt army.

More quakes would be nice, really only thing that seems to make guilds go for the highest apple they can pick, leaving the older content to the rest of us. Earthquakes and races are also super fun in comparison to a sock. We are at the end of the timeline, sure more items would be dropping but what's so awful about 1 euro and 1 usa prime time quake a week.

Well when we had the class R rotation the 3 bigger guilds were definitely taking a hit so the small guilds could progress, and there was the time a few years back when TMO was suspended and BDA left content up and led open raids. TMO also tried to do some endangered species thing, but it was for some non relevant dragons.

Outside of that there hasn't really been much sharing, but it's a top down problem. There's no impetus for Rampage to share unless they're interested in adding you to their numbers / allying. Chopping variance in half helps everyone because it reduces the strain it takes to contest for 16 hours.
