Also, in regards to the OP...
What this server needs is two forces that are capable of defeating each other. The spawn time of raid mobs is irrelevant. Even if they all spawned at the same time nothing is stopping one side from making it a point to do nothing but steamroll the lesser crew until they log off then collecting the raid mobs at their leisure. The only way this server maintains multiple high end guilds is for them to stay relatively equal to each other in terms of numbers, PVP victories, etc. There will always be a certain percentage of people that flow towards the path of least resistance to get loot.
I think we're the closest we've been in a long time to that right now. I know if Azrael has a good showing and we have a good showing we'll see 40-50 on each side. Whoever plays better wins the mob. That was proven this weekend multiple times...when we won the PVP/played well we got the mob. When we didn't play well (PD) you guys won the mob (PVP really didn't factor into that fight).
The key is the losing side not hemorrhaging players so they can come back the following week and possibly win. For the first time in a long time people on both sides think they can win.
Sorry for TLDR.
