Some variance ideas

and variance simply promotes it, while keeping casuals out of the scene

Thanks to having some amount of variance, only like 1 out of 100 (down since window extensions) spawns are legit spawnsocks, while most spawns still present some semblance of a real race. Eliminate the variance altogether and you'd be batting 1000 on spawnsocks.

You idiots don't know what the fuck you want.

Something that prevents your guild from camping a raid force at every target would be nice start

It's called Velious. Blame the timeline for lots of people have multiple geared 60s, not the players.

WoWism.

Take a hint bro, no matter what they do, casuals aren't getting shit.

I didn't say anything about gear, it's all about the players

TMO has a method that works for them, which is awesome, good for our guys. I just find it sad that Naggy and Vox aren't even on the table for other guilds save repop days.

In short, barring a GM-imposed rotation, you're never going to get what you want in Kunark, no matter how hard they try to fix it.

Bolded for emphasis. Regardless of what guild you are with, this above is the issue. No matter what the staff does, it will be wrong. And no matter what the players do there will be complaints.

"Rotations aren't 'classic' why are they being recognized here?"

What doesn't work is the staff 'forcing' anything because there isn't a monetary commitment to your account. You can just create a new one. Get PL'd up in a couple days. And resume. Blowing 70$ every time you smarted off to a GM could get painful in the wallet on live on the other hand.

Lastly, if you want a classic feature added that isn't here yet, like weekly resets, or anything else for that matter. Grab a copy of C++ and get to codin' =D. The source code is still readily available for download from EQEmu. Or if you can't code and have extra resources, hire a freelance from eLance. Pester coworkers is another potential source! Once you have the code, submit it for review and inclusion.

I think when you get down to it, if they could be honest with themselves, most people complaining just want some form of a rotation, even one that isn't completely fair to them as long as it grants them more than they have now. Whether you call it tokens or enforced cooperation or just a rotation (like we once had here), I think there's always going to be people disgruntled as long as they don't have everything they want / think they deserve. Even if you people got exactly what you wanted right here and now, it wouldn't be long until you moved on to complaining about that state of norrath and trying to enact changes that further your cause even more.

The staff here (and not just Sirken) have said they are against rotations. If you can't come to grips with that, you should probably find another box or start your own.

Any high end guild worth their salt would <3 repop days. On live my guild was pushing over 100 members mid PoP and when server crash/patch/maintenance we would split our guild up into 1/4's and hit different mobs all at the same time.

If I was TMO and they did intended repops id just create even more alts and park them at even more spawns.

We could have everything dead in less than 45 minutes save cazic thule and innoruuk.
