I do think variance breaks more than it fixes.
If the idea is to give anyone a chance it certainly doesnt accomplish this, as the most hardcore guilds will just poopsock 24/7 and still end up with the mob.
What I would propose is that for the most desireable raid bosses the GMs keep a list and guild must sign up on the list.
I would also suggest that a failed attempt makes that guild have to skip their next turn on the list, this would keep the hardcore guilds somewhat happy as they would presumably fail less.
BUT because there is only ONE server I think an enforced rotation by GMs should be in place and no variance so that;
A: people dont have to poopsock
B: other guilds still get a shot at the top end loot
C: TMO already has their stuff they are just gearing alts so they can share the love until velius comes out, lets face it they will be the only ones taking on velius raid bosses at start because no one else has gear to do it.
Boom, problem solved
