Growing guilds do not get a shot at content with variance.

In Velious you cannot split your raid in two. No guild can do both King Tormax and Aaryonar at the same time. Quite the contrary actually: top tier guilds have to make alliances to kill mobs one at a time.
A top tier guild could do 2 or 3 Kunark targets at the same time, but none wants to do that when all upgrades are in Velious.

Variance only keeps top tier guilds out of HoT during prime targets windows.

Apart from that, variance ensures you will never get a shot at a Velious target. Their respawns are so far apart that the major guilds will be tracking them all the time and killing them one by one.

With much less variance, windows would overlap and major guilds would have to prioritize, leaving less desired targets for the upcoming guilds to gear up and catch up.
