Some time ago, I created a previous thread expressing my distaste toward the woes of scheduling Dynamis entry. I'm not going to bother looking for it, nothing I posted then was in the form of a question, making it rather vague.
I also perused the interview conducted with Bercus from the "Order of the Blue Gartr" linkshell. However, I feel the important issues were avoided or misunderstood, and so am posting again.
My distaste with scheduling Dynamis entry is the lack of any true coordination, or the potential for needless conflict. In three different Dynamis shells I've been in, we've had runs that ran over time, cutting into another shells' schedule, or flat-out had been cut off by another shell.
In the second case where we were cut off, the Linkshell that did so did only because they used an LS-run website to schedule their run, that was different from the one we used(they were Japanese, ours North American, and the European-based shells use different scheduling sites altogether). While they did not mean to cut us off, the fact that there was no centralized manner of scheduling Dynamis resulted in this confusion.
In the case where we were cut off, it was by an RMT linkshell notorious on my server. As everyone well knows, RMT ignore all rules except their own, and no scheduling site in any time zone would have helped.
In each of the cases, had Dynamis been instanced, the problem would have been avoided entirely, everyone getting to enter Dynamis with a minimum of fuss.
Or, if there were a centralized site, run by S-E, to schedule Dynamis and enforced by GMs, Linkshells in different time zones would suffer no overlap, and anyone who flagrantly cut ahead could have been properly punished.
But we have no instances, nor any centralized scheduling/enforcing.
And now my question:
Will we see an instanced Dynamis? Or, barring that, a centralized site through which Linkshells of all timezones can schedule Dynamis, also enforced by GMs?
