I agree variance pushes casual players away.
Yet no variance pushes non-US citizens away. Right now you need a very good ping to compete for that turn-in. There is no way an asian or euro can compete at the moment.
I have a fantasatic fiber optics connection, yet mobs are triggered before I can even see the NPC pop.
It was the case with ragefire and nobles click fests.
At least with a little variance (not the 16 hours nightmare), we could hope people aren't fully focused when mob pops.

True, or have US friends who can help you.
One of my guildmates lives in the middle of no where and has 300 ping. After having the issue you mention where the mob is already turned in before you see it on your screen, he asked another guildmate and myself to log in on his behalf. After we each logged him in 1 night, I got the turn in for him and finished up his ring while playing his character. He saw an issue and utilized guildmates/friends to overcome the issue. Not super classic, but in the spirit of classic.
The issue with high ping non-American players is a real one. If we get a euro time repop or server patch, that may help resolve this issue. If he is spawning at 10AM US time, most will be at work through the workdays and then euros have a better shot, for example.
Little variance or lots of variance won't help. Nerds will spam click regardless. And when nerds are spam clicking euros aren't going to be any better off.
I've seen atleast 1 turnin go to the high roller when the 4 or so people present agreed to do it that way and /random. The only problem with this system is the list will continue to grow. RNG should eventually fall in your favor but you could go from being 1 of 5 trying to turn in to being 1 in 20 trying to turn in and you may keep losing.
