Please Fix The Time Rallys Start En Masse
Long ago when rallys first came here to NA (Imperator patch), Rallys would start around 12pm-2pm PST
I guess after a short list of complaints we got a response from Spacecats after sometime that was:
"We have heard your complaints, and we will be bumping back rally times so that people who have school and work can experience rallys" *
* Note: This is paraphrased as it has been a long time since it was said and the response was somewhere in the old forums which is now a mess of errors and other issues to navigate.
However instead of moving it forward in the day to say 5-6pm PST, Rallys were instead bumped back to 6 or 7 am PST , which is the time the server resets each and every day in North America if you did not notice. Since then En Masse has granted no response about this new and even worse time for rallys that doesn't even benefit people in their own timezone (thought it benefits the people on timezone hours ahead obviously). Since the stated reason was that so people who work or have school can experience said content, how did making the time earlier fix that problem?
Fast forward to our patch now, where rallys have been replaced with basically still rallys, but under a new name. In Ktera, these rallys take place at completely random points in the day, you cannot plan to wake up at some god forsaken hour like in NA. It's just random. We were supposed to have the same randomized system as KTera but it seems that whatever En Masse did to bump it back to 6 or 7am, is keeping it that way, and considering it now drops ambush, this patches BIS gear, the current time really only benefits 3 groups of people:
a. People who would rather not sleep so they could possibly get their hands on a box. (nothing like destroying your sleep schedule to get your hands on a box eh?)
b. People whose time-zones benefit them in such a way that rallys are not at a really dumb early hour (basically any player not in the US, so i guess EU players are really happy about this)
c. People who no-life this game (like me)
I personally am sick of getting up at the early hours of the day just to see if my raid was lucky enough to qualify for a box and on top of that if my roll beat 10-30 other rolls for it.
I would like to see En Masse properly bump rally times later into the day on their PST time frame or even make it properly random like KTera's.
Sad part is, I wont be getting a response/be seen from En Masse, or even Spacecats unless I am breaking forum rules. So this thread will most likely never be seen by them. But I feel like this grievance needed to be expressed either way.
Note: I understand that the time issue is listed in the "known issues" in bug reports, but this is a problem that should have been fixed way before these new rallys and should have been tested in EME's private test servers properly before release, which they seem to fail to do on a usual bases with new things in patches. This has been an issue since Guilded Age and should have been fixed by now.

Anyhows, maybe you guys can group the rally bam along with the 4pm PST elite box reset instead of 4am quest reset. That would be a way better time lol.
