Conversations like this just create a forum for more lawyerquesting to take place.
First of all, kill variance - that solves most problems.
Second of all, make penalties for lawyerquest. If you submit a frivolous petition or are found that it doesn't hold up, you eat a 1-week suspension.
Make it fun! You get raid 3 petitions a month - use 'em wisely.

This.
Holy shit this.
Do you know why people send in all these petitions? Cause they are salty they lost and wasted 3-6 people's time staring at a wall for 16 hours doing nothing.
You HAVE rules that prevent old-age, 2011 poopsocking. You cannot sit on, camp at or bind at spawn points. You cannot FTE with someone at a bind point. You HAVE the rules in place to prevent the poopsocking which you site as the sole reason for unclassic Variance.
If people spent 30min buffing up and camping out before a window then spent 15-min waiting to batphone the spawn, and they lose. Tough shit. Unless it's something extreme like malicious training, they won't really care much that they lost a dragon. Less than an hour of time off their back, meh. We spend more waiting on boats to get to docks.
But with the current situation, losing dragons BLOWSSSSSSSS after spending so long camped out, or worse, wall staring (tracking).
If you want leave a small amount of randomness (10min+/- is fine) so that there isn't any CotH Ducking or other nonsense.... Fine, I'll give my approval "of non-classic change on basis of 5 years Kunark" stamp.
This will reduce petitions
This will increase casual involvement in raid scene
Due to current setup it will spread out spawn times after reset due to Class R inevitably waiting to kill their mob for hours until they have sufficient force etc.
Overall the raid game becomes more enjoyable for all participants. Other than the 0 people who like staring at a wall for 16 hours.
