I'm going to go ahead and file this under 'nah' like it looks most others have done. Staff requiring regular players to use Discord or log into an external website to camp a mob is terribly un-classic and just dumb. A lot of people don't use and/or won't use Discord, so they aren't allowed to camp it? Forcing that requirement onto your average player is a terrible idea and shows you're really only doing this for yourself because that's what works for you. Any agreement should be simple and require the least amount of work outside of actually camping and rolling for the mob as possible, and what we have now is a lot closer to that than what is being proposed in this thread. Telling someone they can't camp Angry because they don't have or use Discord, again, is just dumb and your rules just complicate the entire process.
If you're in a raid guild then you can most likely already get the timer. If you're not then it isn't really hard to get if you're not completely socially inept. Poopsocking a spawn is P99 at it's core and it's fair based on the original game design that some items take extraordinary effort to obtain. It already requires minimal effort to participate. You literally just have to be there and be able to /rand.
The existing rules level the playing field and works for all parties without needing excessive oversight or rules.
It sounds like your real beef is just with the variance. You might have more luck mounting a campaign to keep the rules the same and remove the variance. But expect to /rand against a LOT more people if they remove the variance.
