There is no fucking way foot races are as bad as CoTH ducking

CoTH ducking:
1) Sit at computer
2) Cast CoTH every 10s
3) Watch spawn location
4) If no pop, duck, if pop, don't duck, yell at tagger to get off youporn

Foot Race:
1) Sit at computer
2) Watch spawn
3) If spawn, tell racer to get off youporn and run

There's a splinter in your thumb, it's all infected and gross, how do you fix it?

A bandaid?
Medication?
Leeches?

Coth ducking is a symptom of a larger problem, foot races will have similar bleeding edge strats adopted as well and too will be a symptom of a bigger problem.

Remove the splinter, get rid of the FFA cycle.

You're retarded if you do either

None of these pixels are worth all this nonsense

[Gimp]

Remove FFA, let the carebears have their free pixels. Taken can stop cothducking (because they only do this to spite class C on FFA spawns, right?) and TMO/IB can go back to footracing everything except Trak.

C/C/R rotation, reduce variance and I'm sure TMO/IB will come to an agreement on the number of people allowed in zone that kills the current socking situation.

Cucumbers we appear to be on the same page about how competition is dumb other than respawn.

But let's say CotH ducking is banned tomorrow. If you remove that part from your equation, what is the difference between CotHing (when only cast near spawn) and foot racing? Cause I don't see one.

And people don't JUST hate CotH ducking they hate mage trackers with CotH in general, which I don't grasp. Without ducking, it's the same thing just a different flavor.

There's flavors better than piss.

Not if you're Bear Grillz. And it seems many of you are interested in subjecting yourselves to staying awake 16 hours straight doing nothing but staring at a single spot for minimal purpose.

You may find it more palatable sure.

And if you're curious, yes I'm in taken. No I don't track or play a mage. Cause it's retarded.

Let's go to a random respawn every weekend that keeps C/R/FFA designations, no bag limits. Then 2-4 respawns a month at a completely random time that are completely FFA with no bag limit.

Same number of mobs, a much tastier version of racing and competition. It removes all forms of CotH, staring at a wall for 16 hours, etc.

Explain to me why this is a bad idea.

not classic

need natural spawns and non-dumb variance

full FFA repops are "classic" (patches, etc)

You remember classic server stability right? It was extremely common for servers to reset before mob timers respawned fully.

Sounds pretty classic to me.

If it doesn't sound classic to you, having 10+ guilds on the server capable of downing most every raid mob outside VP is far from classic and may warrant a non-classic fix. Like all repops and no respawns.

Foot facing doesn't involve clicking a two buttons every 10s and watching the spawn intensely to interrupt the process
