Hu? If you could turn tov raids into 4 hour shitshow cr runs for 100 people the zerg would lose its momentum really fast.
There's not much practical difference between spending 4 hours for a ~1/100 chance at loot and spending 4 hours getting wiped. It's really hard to kill the "momentum" of people playing a 15yr old game when they don't really have any other option for experiencing the content.

I don't think you understand math or basic logic. Are you saying only 1 piece of loot drops per four hour raid? An average ToV raid night yields around 25 pieces of loot, which would make it a 25% chance per raid of someone getting loot per raid day, or a 100% chance of getting loot per week.

Thanks.

Shit man, I don't know. Raids took longer on classic.

1-(.75)^4 = 0.68 (I'm also fairly confident you don't get 25 drops from NToV four times a week)

In any case, I don't know why you think the details matter. The point was that a normal person isn't going to flip out and leave the only endgame raiding guild on the server because they missed one night's worth of potential loot.

This is greatness. Most ironic self troll I have even seen. A true classic.

Kudos to you, sir!
