It is obvious that the people who want the complexes to spawn in random systems are those same people who are to scared to, cant, or dont want to have to compete with other players when it comes to running a complex, yes, you'd rather find it in a system where nobody knows where it is and run it all by yourself with no competition.
With the complexes spawning as they are, everyone knows where, and usually when its going to spawn, you want a ***** at it? Go ahead, just make sure your ready for a fight, there will be others after the complex aswell.
By changing the systems that the complex respawns in every day, that will remove the pvp element, whoever finds the complex first gets to run it and no pvp involved, then again thats what you bunch of whiners want isnt it, your chance to run a high level complex and not have to worry about fighting other players. EVE is a pvp game, go and play WoW, you get your own special dungeons spawned just for you in that game.
Fair comment, and one that on the whole I agree with. Complexes should be another area, apart from the age old Stargate/Station/Asteroid Belt arenas where you can force your enemy to fight. Want to run it and make some ISK? Fight me for it first. I like that part of complexes, and it should stay.
This does not, however, get away from the timezone issue. There are many corps and players who band together because they share a common language, and obviously play during the same period due to their location in real life. Why should they be disadvantaged by a timer that gifts an advantage to a rival corp in the same moment? It is unfair, and as has been mentioned before, the market seeding time was changed due to the advantage gained by those who were first on after DT, so why shouldn't this be changed?
I am no uber-programming guru, but if there is a problem with making the timer count through downtime, can it not be made so the respawn after DT is random? I would love the fact that I get home from work, log in and find my rivals still sitting there six hours later waiting for the spawn, and I get a fair chance to turf them out. On the other hand, there would also be days where my rivals get a chance to run it. Thats fair imo.
