Well, the real problem with these idiots is summed up nicely in the "Proposal to bring windows back together" thread in Raid Discussion:

In an effort to bring timers closers together, Aftermath would like to propose a one week, your FTE your mob. Starting Monday at midnight EST till midnight est Saturday, if your guild gets an FTE on a raid mob, you get claim to it. On Saturday all mobs that have been FTE'ed throughout the week will be killed in an effort to bring windows back together to give all guilds a better shot at getting mobs and most of all reduce the burden of tracking 24/7.

It's apparent we won't be getting any hard resets any time soon so taking it upon the community to fix it is the best chance we have. Contrary to popular belief, we here do have lives and do not want to continue tracking 5/7 days a week.

They completely ignore the fact that nobody is forcing them to track 5/7 days a week and they are free to go live their lives any time they please. The stupid footrace rules wouldn't even be a thing if they realized variance was meant to discourage waiting around for mobs to spawn, not be a "contest" of who can spend 5/7 of their days tracking and getting them first.

I think the point that you miss is that they will continue to compete at the same level no matter what. Yes, they don't have to, but it's what they (A/A) do, to win. As it was, nobody else had a shot at the mobs because they were the only ones willing to devote the necessary resources. The proposal fixes the problem for everyone, not just them.

It's really a matter of just saying "Hey, how about we stop fucking over each other and ourselves and put an end to this miserable situation by working together?" All repops on the weekend is a plus for every normal person with a life outside the game when you have 16 hours of variance to deal with.

No no, we were trying to sneakily fuck everybody over.

How dare you attempt to take our proposal at face value while using reason and logic?

ftfy. There is nothing necessary about what they're doing in the first place and that's my point.

this.

P99 is so fucking terrible.

[Freakish]

There was less competition for stuff outside ToV when A/A was holed up in there taking during the week though. First thing I saw when Windows got normalized was 20 aftermath at sebilis zoneline for trak before he spawned.

These guilds will never stop raiding. If something isn't in window, they'll kill less important targets. More resources to spend on tracking fear golems, hate clears, HoT, trak, vs. Targets that were generally not worth the effort when everyone was brain dead from staring at the door.

If only there was a server where competition was the point and it was starving for more competitive players, then the ones making things arbitrarily competitive could go play there and be happy and everyone who just wants a classic raid can be happy. Think of all the hours you "hard core" raiders could save on petitions and tracking and pathetic Skype arguments!

If you spent half the time raiding as you do complaining on R&F...
