Simulated patch day, patch days, aka full server repops won't solve anything. That will just lead to larger chance of petitions, drama, etc. Granted they are classic, but that's a different issue for a different post.
A zonewide shout isn't classic, but it's a GREAT idea. I mean there a mobs that say "how dare you interfere with me PLAYER X"... in a raid scene that would save Amelinda the trouble of having to attend every crazy contested kill where 60 people are sitting on a spawn fighting for fte (see last VS). It would also solve the issue like with the recent Innoruuk or raid pulls in general, where the average raider has no clue what's happening on the puller's end and just takes their word on it (no need to suspend an entire guild for interference when it's just the pullers being bad). But anyways, spawn variance isn't classic but it was decided to be healthy for the server, why not fte shouts?
Granting the kill whoever gets exp is just bad, because that further enforces straight up Kill Stealing.
And while I'm still on a tangent: it just feels like the raid scene is deteriorating rapidly. Now instead of stall kiting it seems like the new cool thing to do is stall tank.. engage instantly and hold with a tank/healer while the rest of the raid force arrives. That in turn prompts more poopsocking, which in turn results in more FTE fights, which results in more petitions.
