Variance - After first week or two guild A moves mobs into thier own variance windows and poop sock 1 mob a day.

Ermm.. as the weeks go on, the variance windows will spread out and become unmanagable, IE random. Maybe you can explain to me how you could control a randomized event? Its akin to controlling where the ball will bounce on a roulette wheel, my friend.

Also.. 90% of these people screaming for variance are planning to leave this server once Teams99 is released. By all accounts Velious is 3ish months away and teams99 shortly after.

Why change this server for these people who are just going to leave for teams99 anyway?

Put variance on Teams99 and see how it goes. But leave Red99 alone.

Wow look at these assumptions. Why make the server better and enjoyable for others to come back and play, when you can just leave it as is so that it can remain the incumbent zergs playing field. The reason for change is because the current system clearly does not work. You can't give a single reason for keeping it non-variance OTHER than because it makes it more difficult for your guild to lock down 100% of the raid mobs. You feel entitled to every single mob in the game, that's your position.

Why non-variance is good!

1) This is a PvP server and non-variance allows everyone to organize and bring everything they have to contest without dealing with the troubles of PvE throughout the week.

So again, your argument is the ability to have power in numbers. So, as long as you bring a more powerful force, you should be entitled to kill every single raid mob in the game in one sitting. You believe this to be good for the server.

2) It was classic up to whatever point, and this is supposed to be a classic server.

That's not a benefit.

3) With a lower population it allows people to schedule times they can play and get the high numbers they need.

The high numbers they need on a low population server. That's a benefit to the server? Or a benefit to the incumbent zerg?

4) It allows a level playing field for casual and hardcore players because putting in extra time outside the known raiding times is just for fun and provides no progression.

So it's a benefit that players only play for a 3 hour period and then log off until the following week to do it all over again? Also can you explain how non-variance provides a level playing field?

5) Guilds that are not number 1 know when the top guild is raiding and have time to make a strategy to hinder the top guild.

But you've already established that the server is ruled by power through numbers, so how what other strategy is there other than massing more bodies than the "top guild"? Wouldn't that actually inhibit the server from deploying strategy because there are a limited number of players on the server?

qua qua qua quad post

[DrNarcisse]

Just copy and pasting my posts that were from the thread that was moved to the staff forum. You guys only had a good 2+ hours to bring up one benefit of nonvariance and you couldn't even do that. But my favorite post was you describing exactly how variance would affect your DKP and allow other guilds to compete for lesser raid mobs. Thank you for being such a great pro-variance supporter, albeit unknowingly lol.

Nice to see there are still no real contest against variance, Dr. Narcisse still posting well thought out arguments while people opposed to him post nonsense and memes.

Then let everyone in on the secret, tell us one benefit that non-variance brings to the server. Just one!! That's all I'm asking for!

[DrNarcisse]

Nothing huh? Maybe you just have writers block. How about half of a reason?
