Velious will help. Just wait.
Didn't RD just make a post high fiving each other about getting a raid target the other day? System working as intended.
And can you stop pretending you want variance for the good of the server? The only guild that potentially benefits from variance is Red Dawn. You want it for the benefit of yourselves. Yet you will talk until you're blue in the face about how Nihilum is anti variance because they are selfish and don't care about the server.
Then in the next post you'll say how Nihilum has 80% of the active players on the server in it. So why would the devs enable something that is bad for the majority? Why would you advocate for a change that would piss off the vast majority of active players if you care about the server health?
Just call it what it is. Nihilum had a massive head start in acquiring gear in a game that is largely gear dependent in both PVE and PVP. You feel like the advantage is overwhelming and you are asking for the staff to step in and provide you a means to potentially get what you cannot get for yourself legitimately. If what you were saying was: "You tell us to contest but we lack the ability to do so, if you want a competitive raiding scene on this server you will have to help us out", at least then you'd be honest.
Zade said it best. You have the means at your disposal to get raid targets now. Either do it or admit that you can't and try to argue why that is bad for the server.

Variance isn't an attack on the members of Nihilum but a system that helps Nihilum have a true identity and not force itself into the mindless zerg that it has become.
Nihilum does not have 80% of the active players on this server. Their active players are very low compared to other guilds. Nihilum does however have an active roster 3 hours every week when they log on casually and swallow up all content in an afternoon like locusts. It has ruined end game and forced a zerg mentality instead of promoting individuality in guilds. It is a join the zerg or get nothing system.
Variance would reward hardcore players and somewhat spread out the raiding between 3 or possibly 4 guilds.
As you have mentioned it is all well documented, as it is also documented in the gm closed threads that gave Nihilum leadership about 20 pages to give a response in favor or non-variance and they did not. Unfortunately for the citizens of Red99 all of these talks was just that, talk, even when the GMs brought it up. Nilbog or Rogean have no interest in looking into changes on Red99 right now with Velious taking as long as it has.
It will be up to the white knights of this server to push for progress in absence of a developing team that is capable of having a clear vision on what is good for the server. It will be up to the players to punish the sick, the demented, the RMTers, the exploiters, the racist, the zergers and gluttonous filth who have sinned and bring balance back to Norrath.
