How long did this server go without variance during Kunark?

Variance was around prior to kunark.

Allowing aggressive trains also fixes the problem though and is more classic.

If they allowed trains only the Sullon Zekers would survive on this server.

Since we have spawn variances already, why not just fuck the extra end-spawn variance and make the entire window crazy big?

give every raid target a 5 day spawn variance. i guarantee this will almost eliminate socking (except in late window, obviously.)

Wouldn't it be easier with scheduled server resets? This would literally require no additional coding.

Or did big Rog come to the conclusion that it isn't happening

Who benefits from your shiny new plan?

News flash: people sock because that is the only way they can compete with you.


Want to eliminate socking?

Who has benefited the most from the variance? A huge guild that can mobilize quickly and track 24/7.

Hasn't TMO always said that he who puts in the most effort deserves the most loot? Isn't socking a competition to see who can put in the most effort?

Don't think of it as socking, think of it as 30 man tracking.
