I didn't see every iteration of the proposal, only because the whole ultimatum and short time window thing seemed like a bad approach. Why not even have each mob be its own gatekeeper? I would guess not many people would object to that. At least not of the sort of "Well you are gate keeping an easier mob behind a tougher mob".
Also, GMs can do whatever. Maybe they'll surprise us by abolishing C/R/FFA and make everything into a rotation! I guess I'm not sure what the thread is about. Removing variance is the easiest thing to do but by far not the best. It is definitely the one most likely to get done, but then, that doesn't really require a thread does it? GMs know we sock and that we want lower variance.
PLayer rotation would eliminate socking in R and lower it in FFA (less R guilds would compete in FFA), and no GM intervention is required. So I think it's highly related. You want the GMs to do something to eliminate poopsocking? Why don't you try to do something to at least reduce it first to show GMs how important it is to you?

Would love to see people poopsock that. There will be no windows
