    There are lots of ways to create rare items that don't involve sitting in a circle waiting on a pop. This might have been exciting when the functionality and capability at a dev teams control were more limited, but today it's just boring. You can have monsters that are not frequently found in the game, or that are hard to get to, and that have very low drop rates, or challenging conditions to spawn. Those are all at least interesting game mechanics. Your proposed solution is just boring gaming and not something that most of this community has an interest in dev cycles being wasted on.
    No one said my way was the best, but to ignore it and bash people for saying it works doesn't make sense either. It does work, and it is NOT the only way to go about it. However, this does not mean it should not be in the game. Period.

    If Fafnir spawned during reasonable NA primetime every day, you and your merry band of harcores would never get the claim. You'd stay up to catch Europe spawn, but again. The Germans would roll you over easily as you've been up for 12 hours. You take a nap and try again for the JP spawn.

    Latency and all. Sucks for you!
    Not winning claim is better than having claim and wiping over and over again, which I'm sure is exactly what well see from you and your LS very soon (Thursday after 8 person capped parties).

    Brunt of the joke because you don't agree? You're the brunt of the joke because you're part of a fail species that can't do anything without 15 people.
