Raiding - Lets Face It

Why would we want raid targets to respawn more frequently?

If you look at the odds of the script:

With the cooldown in place it would guarantee that you have a minimum of 6 days before it even has a chance to trigger again. And each mob only has a 1 in 6 chance of triggering the script. Odds are this repop of all bosses wouldn't happen more than once every week or 2 at best. I would even go as far as to say just have Inny, CT, Vox and Naggy using the script and leave out Maestro and Dracho. Hell, you can make the random number anything you want if you still thing the event would happen too often.

Because they did on live, and here we have even more competition over said mobs then there was on live. Sorry the answer just seems PAINFULLY obvious here.

There's a huge difference between patch-day repops on Live and this:

Based on patch notes (not all of which necessarily resulted in a server restart, but we can assume most did), Verant patched approximately once every 2 weeks in 2000.

Agreed, obviously the number would need to be tweaked so that the average closely meshes with how often this would happen on live.

I was thinking:
1 in 6 chance,
4 rolls every 5 days (one roll per boss on the day that boss spawns per the current variance)
6 day cooldown once it happens
would work out to be once every a week and a half to 2 weeks on average

But this could be off by a little.
