Most people don't...but some like the how things are very competitive. Others assume that it would be even worse without it. How I see it, is when vindi didn't have variance we were talking guild rotations...now its the usual competitive BS where at least half the people that show up waste their time.

There's always World of Warcraft, sign up now for a free level 90 character.

Swish man, this is a blue problem. A major one. The players that are still there deal with the problems as they are because they love the game! Maybe even as much as you. Comments like that bum me the fuck out.

It's as classic as wanting no variance but adding a rotation.

If you want to accomplish more in less time sitting around, you know there's other places to be.

Except, being PK'd while attempting a raid target isn't an idea of a good time for most of the people that play blue. To try and cover all bases, yes there are people that play both, good for them. It's not exactly a good argument to claim hey come to red and you can raid. It's not the same game sir.

Personally, I don't want a PVP experience and I sure as hell do not want a variance. Vindi is supposed to be 8 hrs, and he's supposed to be farmed like a whipping bitch.

For example: Vindi's BP is one of the best for Shamans. A Step up and easily farmed item for a lot of tanks before they can tackle Idol.

I personally don't mind you recruiting with omission to the name of the obvious. Your sigs usually crack me the hell up. In this case I think your options aren't the best, WoW? really... Red's not the answer in this case either. Fix the variance, and put a stop to poop socking epics for MQ's. That would solve about 50-60% of what's wrong with p99.

After a CR at least you're done, and without the variance you know when to be there. Blue raiding requires hours of poopsocking but without variance the long list of BDA/Taken apps will plunge and people will jump ship to Rampage etc.

That's is exactly what we who play on blue would like to modify.

It doesn't need to be a requirement, it is now because of the way variance is implemented, however there are ways to use variance with classic mechanics to solve the issue of poopsocking, while keeping the fun of the race in tact. These tools are already built into the game, but like the many other expansions, are not enabled on p99.

From the threads I've read and people who I've spoken with, the general feeling seems to be these ways have not been pursued either because of a lack of inspiration, or the ease of simply adding another variance to marginalize targets to deter most individuals from the experience which lightens the server load.

Although it may be hard to imagine, not everyone likes PvP EQ... What are you after by repeatedly insisting the folks that enjoy most other aspects of blue switch to red for an experience they are not looking for?

If she says she doesn't like anal, she doesn't like anal... although it may seem like a perfectly viable option from your perspective forcing it in is no way to change minds or make friends.

There are other ways to promote red pvp, if you would like, I'd gladly make a quality promotional video highlighting the fun elements of p99 red! I don't have a bard there, but I'll roll one up to level 34 to shoot it properly. Let me know if this would help the red cause.

Sweet video but does it have to say "Trakanon' in big, red script the whole video? Makes it hard to see all the action...
