Sadly, they wont ever leave. Look @ Red. It's the same few handful that will cling to their fake heroes with BiS until they pull the plug. Mos Eisley comes to mind.

It's like pulling the alcoholic out of the bar. They wouldn't go without a fight.

No variance is just about the worst idea there is. Leads to rampant poopsocking (ACTUAL poopsocking, it's way worse than what we got here, trust me), nonstop zone desyncs/crashes, bad times all around. Nothx.

You would have to require raids to stay at zone in though. Thinking specific for ToV, Kael races, but for CT, you would not zone in until the earthquake, and Skyshrine, you cannot start cothing until the earthquake, etc.
It's one solution. It doesn't address the real concern though:

some, but left overs, they mobilize fast enough and can snap kill at a greater rate. we wouldnt be totally left out, but would have 1-2 mobs. max compared to 10
You guys don't get enough targets, and the ones you do are left overs.

Other solutions:

Fix loot tables to drop classic number of items
Reduce spawn timers to 3.5 days, and implement a Class R / Class C system
This solves that problem, but I won't hold my breath for these changes. Here is the truth you overlook

Leaving things up happens each cycle of spawns, its called prioitizing

I dont think people realize how poweful locked encounters are when it comes to distributing
All of West ToV, Ikky, Sevalak, Jorlleag to name the ToV ones. Sometimes more, sometimes less, depending what else is in window. Klandicar, Velk, Wuoshi, *Tunare* are all left up for hours, some even days. If you wanted mobs, these are free for the taking.

Rotations do not work.

Why would 25 guilds with 100 people in each be cheating? It doesn't take 100 people to kill these mobs. Each guild would be able to kill everything, and even if they couldn't, you are preaching for an all inclusive rotation. They would belong on it to at least attempt the encounters. So, 25 guilds on a rotation. Where do we sign up?

Do I really have to explain why breaking up your guild into smaller guilds so you get more spots in a rotation would be dishonest?

Do you have a super low IQ or are you pretending to have one? Would you be interested in being studied?

TL;DR of this thread

EQ has always, and will always be driven by pixel lusting neckbeards.

Weekend without them was nice

Welcome back nerds

Ok, so lets use our brain and read these posts and try to learn. These same people that you keep bashing, keep giving you solutions to your problems. Yet, you keep repeating yourselves.

Take some initiative (I know its hard but you can do it) and petition the solutions that have been put fourth in front of you and band together like you keep stating you do so well, form an alliance and get these changes implemented. I'm sure a boycott or protest could get this done or at least help set things off in a direction you would like.

Your real problem here whether you want to accept it or not, is the way the server is setup. Not the people who are playing the game. You see, someone can change the way things spawn but they don't. These people you have problem with cannot make these changes. They are just taking the initiative to play the game the best way they possibly can given the circumstances.

So open a box, type some keys and get to work.
