There is no way he's constantly pulled within 18 seconds of his spawn, I don't believe it. May be if the windows get super low and no other major mob are in window but that's very rare.

Pretty sure it's less than 18s now.

inb4 'casual plebs', 'we totally do it for the competition feeling', 'welfare pixels', 'I am so skilled at video games I can watch a wall for 16 hours', etc

I personally would love any initiative to reduce time sinks and allow people to do turn ins on similar quests.

What if another guild wants to contest Dain? Does it become a 3-way roll?

[Tarskin]

Could consider a buy in type clause as was present in some former rotations, where if a guild wanted to be added they would be tossed at the end of next cycle. However, taking size of guild into account would be nice too in that context but now I'm just dreaming [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

A 3rd guild wanting in should end the rotation, giving said guild an opportunity to prove able to compete in FFA. Then restart the rotation after a sufficient amount of cycles.

I think a good compromise would be to race for FTE but not require an immediate pull like was the case a few rule sets ago.

So whoever gets the FTE wins the right to have a period of time (15, 30 mins?) thereby allowing people to turn in while they setup etc.

This sounds like a great idea. Allows plenty of time for turn-ins and allows the guild preparing to pull time to test the CH chain, buff up, etc.

This is an excellent idea, better than the idea of rotating even. This way if the guilds do want to continue to poopsock, track, and race for FTE they can still do all of that stuff as per usual, but then allow for everyone else to complete their quests before they actually kill him.

Either that change, or a rotation on Dain, would be a vast improvement over the current situation with little to no downside for anyone! I'll also mention this thread to the 15+ people that will be waiting along side me to hand in for ring 9 to Dain this weekend.
