The only alternative to FTE racing that would work is quake pops instead of raid bosses popping on variance. But it's 'not classic' in the eyes of the staff (or at least the devs), so it's not likely.
My counterarguments are
1) This server has ~5-10x the endgame raiders that a classic server would have had. No classic server would have been this overpopulated at the endgame, Verant/Sony would have opened a new shard.
2) FTE racing rules from zoneline and yellow text were never a thing in classic.
3) Nor were GM-enforced one hour or one day mercy rules after an FTE.
4) Staff does quakes when they please anyhow.
5) Adding to this, many raid bosses drop much less loot than on classic. Thus further reducing the size of the pie.
