I used to think removing the variance entirely was the answer, but I think simultaneous repops are actually better. I figured people would realize the futility of sitting on spawn points for hours on end just to get a chance at pixels, but then realized that people still resort to poopsocking on this server, as well as tracking mobs for several days straight, and they call it "competition". Everyone who thinks this is an unreasonable, unclassic waste of time is derided as wanting a "handout". So we need a solution that removes barriers for entry into the raid scene but is still competitive. Removing variance either forces rotations or forces poopsocking, neither of which are desirable in my mind.

Still, no variance is better than the insanely long variance we have now.
