Well now you're just being ridiculous. I'm not even sure wtf you're talking about with the hooded black cloak line. All I see is a bunch of nonsense being spewed from a retired player that somehow thinks anyone still cares what they have to say (if they ever did) Amazing how many of these type of people are lurking these forums.

Not sitting still and spamming track 16 hrs is instant gratification, duh. Lolz, step up your game nin

I'd rather help improve blue or help bad ideas (like this) die to keep it from being worse.

omg y so mean? I am trying to help Blue your opinion matters so I am not bashing you for bashing me for posting this where others could post instead of where a few select get their say and the rest of Blue has to abide by it or suffer through it.

I'm not attacking you. I'm attacking the idea. For an example of me attacking a person please see my previous post.

The arguement against reducing variance to +/- 4 hours is that big guilds would camp each target for their short window, then move on to the next, non-overlapping window.

However, with less variance and a reset, all mobs would be up on the same day (ideally a Saturday).
Windows would overlap heavily, making major guilds prioritize targets and mobs would be up for other guilds.
While Rampage and FA rack up ST keys and kill each other over nToV, Taken goes for KT and PD, BDA goes for Dain and Inny, that leaves Dozekar, Telk/gozz, all of Kunark, Kelorek, Velk up for smaller guilds.
Some mobs like CT, ST nameds and Tunare would be left up for the day after, maybe NToV mobs like triplets too.

A small amount of variance is good because of timezone differences and RNG, but 16 hours variance with weekly mobs spread from Friday to Tuesday is not fun for anyone. It promotes Rampage levels of neckbearding, burns out trackers and it keeps growing guilds limited to the Gorenaire and Wuoshi-like mobs noone cares about.

Reduce variance and you will see CSG or Divinity snipe a Dain, Dozekar, Gozz/Telk... juicier targets. I would add Statue to the list, but it is not a 7 days repop and is not affected as much.

Rogean does not want to do repops, not much we can do about that.
But reducing variance is a one-time action that would make the whole raid scene healthier and more enjoyable, except for unemployed players who like raiding 5 days per week to hoard pixels.
