I like the way how Lil critters members, of course not all of them, who are strongly against moving wb timers are bragging the most using arguments that are actually false coz lack backup information.
1. Eu Server wasn't Eu - English or having any english support from the beggining, it was Russian. English support came some time after - and for that reason english player base choose to start on NA over "RU" which is obvious choice. Dominating part of NA server when goes to number of players on it ironicaly is EU playerbase. My wild guess is that NA playerbase is around 40-30% or bellow it. That makes obvious that you don't want to force things to be like they are on their timers so that low % will only be happy about it - administration probably will choose to favor bigger pool of player base to make them happy - happy customers means for them better advertisement about server when they talk about server to other people, better credit flow and player base being kept in more healthy condition.
Thing that happened to luscas/abyssal event is just proving that there are steps being made towards eu players base but we need to point out what we need.
2. Bragging about how many people can come on kraken on time it was last weeks and putting that into discussion is nonsense. 40% if not more of people from that group choosed to stay over night in order to do that boss. And numbers weren't that amazing. In same manner u can see for example west having raid with almost full co-raid in early halcy that happens just few hours before kraken. And this number is being pumped up that much because of the obvious reason - eu timezone players (also asia/oceania part of the world is like 10% or more of player base that should not be forgotten to mention and they were also taking part in that and any other event in game).
By putting same argument towards: "
See something wrong with that? What happened to those 80+ man raids at kraken that just recently stopped happening? You have the numbers. You have the people all day but just want free content. Fight for it or stick to growing potatoes. " I can say that no one ever mentioned free content, if you say we have all day whats the point of not moving time? You have people all day. When we did scrimishes your leader was able to summon people to pump up numbers, what's the problem? Maybe the ones who want free stuff are not the players from group that ask for time spawn change but your group? You have all day.
Another good example, early halcy before change into instance your guildies were able to go there as the big part of na with entire eu community was able to and it was 1 hour extra away from what we have now. Back then there was no problem for NA to come and do Halcy, we got current instanced version with time moved forward, still there is no problem. Why there would be problem then with moving WB timers?
And what's the problem with clashing events? Most of them are repeatable in not that long periods. Some of them are even overlapping each other like gr/cr with mistmerrow or gr/cr with halcyona. Not mentioning events that are triggered by players like whalesong/aegis. People can make their own choices what they want to do, no one is forcing them to stick just to do dailes in same routine all time. If they skip cr for doing kraken or twt or any other wb - those dailes they can do earlier or later, thats managable.
When goes to clashing timezones:
That was the time of old Halcyona war(not instanced one) starting, people got no problems with it, big attendance from both na and eu side, also surprisingly mentioned Asia part of the world was also there, in big numbers in form of IHG(west china) players and No One(east china) - but that can only result of living on far west side of the world or just living in other countries.
This one is currrent halcy that is Monday -> Friday one. Numberes of both NA/EU of NA server playerbase is still high, Asia playerbase is not that much but still active. Of course not all of them are inactive but bigger chunk is out. Don't need to check to know that wb timers rn are early morning for Asia, late night for EU and its in still managable hours for NA. What if we revert halcy time pop up to old one and in place of current one we put wb spawn time so all 3 zones will be kinda put in good time?
