The problem with an "Earthquake only" system is that it would kill the average server population. Everything would spawn and die in a couple hours, then no end-gamers would login for the rest of the week.

Rinse an repeat.

Perhaps if some kind of randomized-earthquake-only-system where x number of mobs would pop each day but they could be any "raid" mob in the game. Then more would pop the next night etc etc. The raid mobs that popped would always be random so you couldn't really poopsock them.

Course this would make me feel rrreeeaaalll bad for the trackers

Just curious.

Are you assuming that a significant portion of the server population ONLY logs in to raid and logs in only to either raid or to sock raid targets?

Also

Are you assuming there is some kind of inherent value in having these people logged into the server and not doing anything other than staring at a wall or a spawn point?

A lot of the endgame populace seems to login only for raid targets; or the possible spawning of an impending target. I think a lot of people at the end game would get bored if they were only raiding one night a week, for a matter of a couple hours, with no more targets spawning for the next 160+ hours.
