For west coast NA players, there is no “noon” slot. It’s at 9am which is a terrible time.
The whole idea of “concentrating” players only works if there are players to be concentrated. There should be 1 hour of pvp every 3 hours, seeing as to how selfish people are. If the times are right for them, they don’t care about anyone else.
As it is right now, the west coast players with 9-5 jobs simply wont play. They can’t be funneled into the current hours since the times are ridiculous. And there are not enough times to allow flexible funneling.
Funneling only works if the times are close enough. Else why not just limit pvp to 1 hour a day? Then all the players get funneled together right? WRONG. If its just one hour a day, no one will make time to play this dumb game. In the end, this is just still a game. I can’t space out that special hour just to fit it into my schedule if it means interfering with work.
By adding 1 hour every 3 hours, everyone can comfortably find a time to fit it into their schedule. Moreover, we’re capped at 50 points daily anyway. It’s not like you can farm as much as you see fit. With this schedule, any player that gets off work/school would easily be able to look forward to 1-2 hours of pvp fun rather than “OH GEE, I’ll just wait till 1 am.” Then proceed to find that no one is on during that 1am time anyway to pvp with.
