Skope, sir - I see nothing wrong with a variance on raid mobs to prohibit poopsocking, regardless of it being "true to classic" or not. I see nothing wrong with a variance now, or in the future.
Your argument is based on your belief that variance is contrary to classic experience, and that a staggered boss spawn time will conflict with Velious content for some reason. I don't believe it will. Where's the legendary, oft-referenced Strawman here?
I was in DA during the legendary poopsocking Summer. It was the inverse of competition - you raced to the mob, except the mob wasn't up yet. Still racing, but with an added 48 hours of bullshit.
This will happen again without a variance, and it will take some great diplomacy to even approach a player-controlled solution without needless, and still-present animosity.
It would take, in short, a massive amount of time and effort on the part of a few, in order to organize a system for the many. An amount of time it seems many, many posters believe shouldn't be invested in a video game, anyway.
