Reduce variance to + or - 4 hours, or even + or - 2 hours. Reset the server once and the raid targets will all die within a few hours of each other. The next week everything will be spawning on top of one another and Awakened and Aftermath won't be able to kill 90% of the raid targets like we do now. The following week the windows will still be very tight to one another and more casual guilds continue to pick off targets. It will take 3-4 months for the targets to spread out as far as they have now. Reset once a month on average and everybody high fives wearing Yelinak gloves.
Right now its been almost two months since the last reset, which took place on a Sunday afternoon. There has since been 8 cycles of spawns. with 16 hour variance the ~30 targets' windows have now spread out so that the earliest target begins on Friday night and the latest target goes well in to Tuesday. Its a lose/lose. Awakened and Aftermath lose because we're sick enough to go hard for 4 days straight and everybody else loses because we're going hard after everything and windows are spread out enough that we can focus a lot of resources on just about each target that spawns.
Tighten (but keep) variance and everybody wins. The server gets no more or less classic since variance is already a thing.
