Removing variance in VP actually seems like an interesting idea, but I'd still much rather have no training. Training in VP isn't classic. I guess variance isn't either but I'm sure a lot more people would want to zone into VP if training wasn't allowed regardless of variance.
Being able to plan ahead and set a date/time for regulars to participate would definitely help combat the trains. Instead of having to deal with getting people on in a split second to race dragons, you'd then be able to focus on strategy and have reliability in people being able to attend.

It's not exactly what you want, but it is something that doesn't require TMO's "permission" and is something that benefits everyone equally (but more so people not in TMO).

I'd imagine a good bit of old raiders would probably be willing to come back a couple times per week just to mess with TMO if they knew when those dragons would pop as well... so there is that lol.

EDIT: Reason I think they would remove variance (with so many obviously interested in VP) is due to variance being put in to solve Poopsocks and considering training solves poopsocks automatically, there is no need for variance in VP. Removing variance would remove one large hurdle for casuals and entice some of the hardcore guys with scores to settle to come back.
