I know what a spawn window is. and its not suppose to exist in this game, no matter how much you try to twist it. this is how it works on most games to, your just trying to change that, to fit your mediocre mind.

This guy...  ;D Ok, I will give this a go...

Every single mob (this includes raid boss) in pretty much every single game has a respawn rate. This respawn rate can be flat (e.g. 60 seconds), or some randomisation factor is added. The flat respawn is self explanationary (I hope?). When a randomisation factor is added, it is usually something very simple, such as:

Respawn time = 60 + random(0, 100)
Where 'random' is a simplified function to return a random number between 0 and 100. Hence this mob will have respawn time anywhere between 60 (60+0) and 160 (60+100).

Usually when a mob has '+/- 1 hour' window, this simply means that we take some flat timer, e.g. 5 hours, and add random(0, 2) hours, hence achieving '6 +/- 1 hour'. The specific implementation might differ in each game, but the logic behind it is very simple.

When you say "it's not supposed to exist in this game", it really shows how clueless you are. It is an integral part of this game, that's a fact, no matter what you believe. You can believe sun is cold, but it doesn't change the fact that it's not cold, it's hot.

Sure, you can achieve 'random' spawn 'without a window', something like:

Respawn time = random(0, x), so the mob can spawn as soon as you kill it, or as late as x, but it's still a window. Theoretically you can make an algorithm that would check every second if the mob should be respawned, something like (some python, please don't hate me):

import time
import random

from mobs import Baium


def should_respawn():
    # Oversimplified example.
    return random.choice([True, False])

mob = Baium()
while not mob.is_alive:
    if should_respawn():
        mob.respawn()
        break
    time.sleep(1)

This is not a nice design (expensive computation; O(n) compared O(1) in the calculation alone), and in the end it would still have a window of whatever the 'should_respawn' function returns.

However, in case you are a troll, then kudos to you, you got us. If you are not a troll, please go for a mental health checkup.

  • Doing lowbie raids with endgame buffs is not magic
  • Playing with 4 boxes is alowed via server rules
  • Knowing a respawn timer is a common thing since C2(yes on retail as well so you are wrong)
  • Raids on most servers including retail keep thier timer regardless of restart
Interlude?How?Why?(personal opinion) - Interlude servers (5-7 x exp) most popular, because it allows you to play at a normal rate and still reach endgame at a decent speed. Most of the tweaked features are there to not sit in dwarven village after 4 weeks of play not using SS on every hit.
One box policy works very well on a server that is 1X exp with 3-4k players because you see ppl in all towns shouting and its easy to make raid grps and parties and such. It seemes to me that most of your points are based on your feelings, and your personal view of the game to the point where it's like spongebob commenting on the theory of relativity. Do some research before you make a post like this... oh and check this link:
