This is quite the read. The fear of not being able to simply instruct your 40+ force of randomly tagged folk to present themselves sunday. I find it unfortunate that you do not want to step up to the challenge of a scenario where everything can not be easily monopolized by the guild ahead.

For me this is my wish list:

1) Leaderboard. It will need a way to account for assists somehow to not be gimped but a Leaderboard of some sort would be cool and something to do when there's no dragons to slay pals.

2) EXP boost. While in theory I'm a fan of keeping exp slow for a variety of reasons, none of those reasons seems to carry any weight when the initial impression people get here is a barren wasteland with no groups and only fungi wearing rogue epic twinks griefing you.

3) Variance. I never thought I'd say this in a million years but the whole all mobs on a one day timer within three hours thing is getting old fast. The excitement of quickly assembling to kill a mob against another guild seems more fun to me at this point than killing Trakanon for the 500th time.

4) Item loot even if its implemented as a flaggable option that makes you wait maybe a week to unflag from it. This would remedy the claim of people who say its too late to implement it now. I think most people would flag tbh.

5) Fix CC. While I've seen some posts like player x resisted my root all the time what is the issue, the point is I shouldn't have to wear MR gear in every slot just for a chance at resisting root.

6) Maybe in lieu of variance a once a week at random time raid mob pop in a random zone that could drop a piece of LR or something else cool. Something to fight over that can't be predicted when it will pop etc.

Just some thoughts.

You are so fucking fickle, its unbelievable. This is the kind of shit that makes you the server's rat.

If I cared enough, I'd dig up the Velious post where you went on about How Kunark offers absolutely no road towards advancing for the guild in second place. For once in your life, have some integrity. I throw up a little at the thought of having been guilded with you.

I made that post and then I spoke with people who actually played on blue with variance and realized what would actually happen if it were to be put into play here, so I changed my opinion on it, sue me brah. I stand by my assertion that variance will just be an inconvenience to nihilum and result in 95% of mobs still being killed by nihilum with the occasional 4am sniping.

Kunark doesn't offer alternate progression it's incredibly easy to cock block, just as it was during classic on my server. There are few raid mobs, only one loot candy zone (VP) locked behind one raid mob (Trakanon). Velious offers halls of testing, NToV, plane of mischief, kael, dain, skyshrine, plane of growth, plane of mischief, Zlandicar and first brood dragons, wuoshi, ring wars / shawls, velktor, sleepers tomb, etc etc. One guild cannot hold all of that down, not even close.

Variance has a good intention: increased pvp. But unfortunately on this server it's implementation would ultimately be flawed. If this was a vibrant pvp server with more people you could make an argument variance would result in more pvp, here it will just be my cell phone getting texts at 2pm on a Tuesday that its time to mobilize for faydedar as I log on and read mad azrael people going "lol 50 people at 2pm for faydedar" (lol they prolly rite).

So, at this point the best argument for variance is a brainfart Checkraise had a while ago ?

It wont hurt us and it wont help you to put in variance. It is however not classic to have on a red server, and the only result is poopsocking which will give you guys even less of a chance. Now instead of having the chance to zone in while we re engaged or clearing you will be offered the chance to zone into a raidforce buffed to the tits and who is doing nothing.

Variance could be good if the complete dynamics of the server were different, I.e hundreds of players multiple guilds with 20+ people, etc. it's a two guild server tho u no when the mobs pop, during Sunday peak time of the week. If you can't win those battles how are you going to win during the week during work hours? If anything variance will kill your guild because its more casual and has far less neck beards. You'll burn most of your members out trying to out poopsock nihilum for 4am CT's like you did during trak when aim chat was full of "well that was gay never playing again" remarks.
