Apparently they didn't teach probability in school where you're from, I'll call up the minister of education asap. Part of the effort is getting the high percentage. Your argument is literally one of "Let's give everyone DFTs and Femurs since it will be fair and then we can compete on equal footing, screw the RNG of droprates omg!" - Why stop there? Let's just put a vendor with T3 in it right since EVENTUALLY everyone is going to have it and it will be unfair for some good players who didn't get the RNG of their items dropping and they can't compete on meters then.
Slippery slope fallacy right there. If we let people drink water in class, they will start organizing dinners during classes.
No, my argument is not one of "[quoting garbage you wrote]". Gear is obtained in raids, and raiding is the highlight of raid guild gameplay. People play the game for raiding and community. People DO NOT play the game to see who ends up being the luckiest guy on DMF damage buff dice rolls. No, I don't want people to have gear vendors, don't twist my words. DMF buffing is just one more chore before the raid, pretty much the point of the game, actually starts.
They are not in contradiction as they have a requirement of actually getting the 10%. (2) has no competitive input of getting the buff and (5) does. It's fair for the rankings of those that put in the effort of getting the 10% to be placed on equal footing. If you remove the process of getting the 10% (which is the competitive element) then it's gone, but the people that get 10% are on equal footing. If you give EVERYONE, even the guys that pop it right before a raid you entirely remove the purpose of logging every 4 hours to ensure your good buff. Ie. you place slackers and tryhards on equal footing which is substantially more unfair. And giving something to EVERYONE (not the people that tryhard) then you render it negligible.
People who generally don't go for high DMF are typically garbage in PvE performance (average DPS component of it) anyway. They will never be able to compete with those who try and play well.
Simple example is, farming has a result of rewarding gold. Ie. time=gold. If a GM gives everyone on the server 5k gold, how much you think would 5k gold be worth? Nothing. Prices would just increase proportionately. Same with dps, give everyone 10% and they're just all going to do X amount of more dps, which they could have compared with or without the buff.
Your analogies are horrible. You can't just say "that's like saying [something completely wrong]" about everything. Believing things in your head isn't enough, man, things you say have to actually make sense.
I explained this once already. It's a monthly thing where everyone has increased damage output, introducing some dynamic to the weekly farming because guilds generally try harder during that one week and organize more competitive raid events. How is that same as everyone getting 5k gold once... If you do wish to make a comparison with farming or money, then you could perhaps compare it with consumables having increased duration one week a month, or costing less mats.
So let me get this straight, you have argued against GMs for implementing changes proposed by a vocal minority and now you're advocating changes to the server made by a minority? You guys have been complaining about the lack of blizzlike elements on this server basically permanently and then you make threads like this.
I will always argue against things I find stupid, as I have in the past. If there are positive changes, then I will support them too. Blizzlike is nice, yes. But I have never even once thought that, for example, respec cost should be 50g because blizzlike. I don't miss that cancer even the least bit and I fully support the 5g cap so that people can respec more easily and play more dynamically, and PvP between raids etc. It was especially helpful in the beginning of the server when everyone didn't have thousands of gold.
Ultimately, why does it matter what I have argued for in the past, in this particular case? Because I was against certain custom changes in the past that I found bad, I should have no right to suggest something else or support someone else doing so?
What is your actual problem here? You seem very upset, man. Want to talk about it?
None of your argument holds any ground. You are not forced to raidlog, you can gear alts, you can farm etc. You can literally make a char that is identical to your main on this server. No-one even needs hardly any gear anymore.
With you as a judge, being so strongly opposed to anything I say and having outright "you're wrong" approach towards me, sure, nothing I say holds ground. Luckily, you don't decide anything and I don't have to care about your opinion. Sadly, since this is a public discussion, other people can still read what you write and some of them who don't think things you write through can get swayed by your statements, so I have to respond to them.
Just more evidence of a massive lack of thought. No, everyone doesn't get it. Last time I checked those buffs require that you kill some bosses right?
Did you just write that every guild on this server can't get Hakkar and Onyxia buffs?
