I have an idea, but keep in mind that this is totally "unclassic." It may just be an outright terrible idea that will never be implemented, but as long as we're all on the same page, here it goes:
Spawn all of the big raid targets at once and create a website with a list of the big raid targets. Only give guild leaders handles/passwords for the website. Guild leaders can use the website to claim targets on a first-come, first-serve basis and no guild can lay claim to more than one target at a time. The website should manage this so that disputes over who actually has claimed what and when is not an issue.
If a guild lays claim to a raid mob first, then the guild can attempt to kill that raid mob for some limited period of time / until they kill the raid mob / until they give up. At that point they relinquish their claim on the raid mob and any other guild can lay claim to it. They can also claim any remaining raid mobs that have not yet been claimed. If any guild attempts to steal a target from the guild who's raiding it, they're disqualified from participating in the next cycle of spawns.
Details like the spawn time / frequency and what spawns are considered big raid targets are left up to those implementing the solution.
