Dumping variance completely resolves the issue of poopsock and clutter, and forces mobilization and guilds to get their acts together otherwise they'll lose out on targets.

As to which of these i prefer... i guess that depends on what the rules look like that are framed around them.
1. The link you provided is not representative of classic. It's been updated for all the changes SOE made over the last 11 years to those mobs. I explained how classic spawn mechanics worked.

2. The concept of variance on all of those spawns is classic. It's a concept that has been expanded to work for our unique situation of tons of raiders with volunteer GMs. There are small tweaks that could be made that may help (slightly shortening windows, putting trak on 3 day like he's suppossed to be, opening VP) and the staff is aware of all of them at this point. The majority of the people raiding have come here and said that it is, in fact, working.

3. The bolded doesn't make sense to any of us. How? What rules? We've speculated our asses off about what you might mean an no one has come up with anything that doesn't seem insane.

Going to zero variance is both not "classic" (your claimed primary concern) and a guaranteed clusterF as attested to by members of TR, TMO, Asc, the GMS and your own guild. No one wants 3 guilds sitting on trak or VS's spawn point and you haven't provided a single realistic reason why that won't happen.

You are inventing problems and drama because you feel the need to percieve and injustice exists in whatever world you live in where time and effort bear no relation to each other. Everyone, including the CSR staff here, is trying to explain this to you, and at this point you're just plugging your fingers in your ears and shouting "I'M NOT LISTENING".
