Gear and playtime don't give an advantage.

It seems to be hard to create a guild to compete with FE/IB and TMO becasue the supply of people willing to camp out isnt very high. I know there are former people who used to do it in BDA and other guilds but the numbers just aren't there for all the Midnight-8am spawn times

There would be more people willing to if there wasn't extended extended extended variance.

Hard for the more casual guilds to camp toons out at a target when theres a chance he wont spawn for over a week.

Using last VS as an example I agree, that was quite the joke. The windows was what.. 6, maybe 7 days thanks to extensions? Think about, guilds had people there tracking for the first half, and then for the second half (late window and extensions) 3 guilds had typically 5-10 people each just sitting there, waiting for the fucker to pop.

I don't know of any casual guild in their right mind that would put up with something like that.

I put in 200+ hours over the last two VS's easily, and about 5-6k plat in peridots alone.

Thats one person, out of maybe 10-15 from 3-4 guilds there at all hours. Two Venril spawns is responsible for 3-5000 man hours of staring at a fucking wall. Welcome to P1999.

Damn 5,000 man hours. Assume min wage or some average wage of $20/hour, we're talking VS is worth $50,000 per spawn or something in man hours? damn. This sort of analysis really reinforces my idea that I have to quit this game.
