Reduce variance hugely.

1. Not classic.
2. Class R and Class C disparity is mainly due to the amount of time willing to stare at a spawn. You reduce the window (16hrs currently) that you have to stare at a spawn, you will see more competition. Leave *some* to add a small element of randomness.

Drop variance to +/- 30-60minutes. So that the window is 1-2 hours.

Also this will help because on a server respawn, a good 12+ targets dying within 1-2 hours of server pop, it will cause many overlapping windows with many mobs spawning simultaneously. Decreasing the amount people can monopolize and forcing them to prioritize the targets they focus on.

Im sure it will be fine once vellious comes out - but for now the FFA clas R I just dont understand. I dont know why you want to do that if you dont want to do C. But each plays to their own liking.

Vellious will cure what ails ya, Im sure.

Also not being able to kill something on a repop - becuse its a C mob rotation or something, that makes zero sense to me.

Sim Repops should be all FFA and sorted out after. Ive seen mobs just sit idle waiting for C to move to them while they could have been taken by R

Guess how many of those people are actually AFK and how many are actually tracking/awake? I'll give you a hint, only the mage, warrior and a cleric maybe a chanter are really awake... just like the other guilds there I am guessing (I am not there, but I am pretty confident)

Also, how many other Class C, FFA, VP mobs are in window? Are there any Taken or other Class R guilds at those for that matter? Now how many Class C trackers are there waiting and staring at the spawn points/track windows waiting for a spawn?

Sitting AFK online is a byproduct of some people missing out on the last FFA VS Taken killed. I posted in our recruitment thread the timestamps, engage within 3 seconds of spawn, it was dead within 2 minutes of spawn. (why CotHing is dumb and should be removed, but the raid discussion thread on the subject garnered a total of 2 replies)

Some people saw that and decided they will AFK and be able to make it in when they get a batphone by rushing to computer and running in. Whereas being around the house, having to log on your account, log in your character, run in, etc. They would miss the fight.

I guarantee the ratio of players actively tracking/sitting at spawn points from Class C:Class R is quite large. Class R guilds do at most 1 target at a time, generally late in window ones too. Class C guilds track them all simultaneously which requires far greater manpower and depth of poopsocks. Manpower that no Class R guild currently has.

so far ZERO guilds have made the change

that was never the idea, the tiers represent fundamentally different playstyles, maybe you should worry about getting rolled by IB before you calling out class R, priorities man

I just don't get how so many guilds are content with not being in the end-game zone after 4 freakin years. Especially considering the amount of hours they put into this game.

It's not about the amount of time; I play a fuckton. Because I enjoy the game of EverQuest: chillin with some pals, chatting and getting pixels. Tracking, jav spamming, and poopsocking are not EverQuest: aside from not being classic, they are all boring as fuck.

Completely off topic, but why new forum username?
