An alternative to variance

[-Catherin-]

Being part of the FAP community (hehuehe) and having quit it right before its collapse, I can pretty much tell you that there was no sort of divine enlightenment obtained within. The discussions that went on were pretty much an embarrassment to everyone involved.

How about you let the scummy unwashed masses be the judge of that. Can't be any worse than what goes for normality around here anyway, right.

Sorry for derailing.

Back on topic. Variance is the spawn of the devil.

Get rid of it and allow normal, non-neckbeards to have a shot to participate in the raid scene. Or go full repop.

What about reducing spawn times and having lockouts for the guilds?

If guilds aren't fighting over the spawns, socking isn't necessary.

This would be the most effective solution outside of instancing, which sucks.

100% random would likely take socking to epic levels unless location was random as well in which case it could create massive zone disruption.

Eliminating variance is the sismplest solution with greatest effect. The most bang for hoe buck as they say. If there is no variance, there is no reason to sock decor perhaps to throw off competitors or to find out spawn times. Otherwise, you a imply log on shortly before the scheduled repop, assemble your force and bash the baddy ^^

You have my vote Dalds ^^

Ban Chest and everything else should just fall into place.

What is FAP in this context? (I know what it is in the contemporary context, so no gif explanations please).

It was the Class R rotation coalition of guilds.

If you mean what it stood for, I believe it was Federation of Allied Players

but yeah it was the forum where the rotation guilds all communicated (poorly)
