What if Variance was gone or changed?

How about restricting raid mobs respawns to prime time?

Whose prime time? repops on patch days on Live were often dominated by Asian/Euro/Aussie guilds since it was their prime time usually when the servers came back up.

I guess you'd have to use p1999 demographics. It would ensure that respawns are timed when most people are online rather than the other way around.

A big issue id like to see changed is the stupid VP rules. That is the only instance where a guild simply can't compete because of trains.I've never been there myself but it allows a guild in vp to train anyone trying to compete which would be illegal in other zones. It also happens to be the best loot so its like a slap in the face to the other guilds who legitimately want to contest those spawns.

But you only have to show up 5 minutes before the mob is scheduled to spawn!

The 15 man rule should be reimplemented.

15 man rule was the stupidest shit ever. This is how it worked, mob dies, guild stays at spawn for 7+ days till it respawns. Rinse and repeat.

Okay then why not have a variance front end that is random and the next spawn timer is back to fixed time. The other guilds would have to know the time killed on the variance part to show up on the fixed timer. Anything but this variance now is better. At least agree with that? In classic it was the same, you had hundreds show up for raid targets like Trakanon etc. Velious was worse, we had over 300 show for Dain one night and the lag was incredible but fun.
