So whos GM'ing for blue again?
He should be the one taking this decision.
Like any other decision in life, you gotta weight in the good and the bad.
As far as workload is concerned, variance helps a GMs life a lot. He doesnt have to deal with FTE log search as much, as about a thousand less petition to deal with "THEY TOOK MAH MERBS" kind of useless petition.
With no variance, he will have to look at every single FTE engage. Dealing with little children petitioning about who hit that first, on every single mob.
The only way this could be made bearable is that he doesnt give a flying fuck about who engaged first and whoever get the exp yellow message get loots.
He could also make the zone PVP one hour before and after a raid mob is about to spawn.
Or you can come to the superior server, which is the red server. There's no variance here, the best gets the lewts.
Anything else is a nightmare.

So then make the variance smaller instead of getting rid of it altogether. Is there a rule that whenever one of these threads pops up that the smart ideas aren't allowed to receive any mention?
As for minimizing GM involvement, more simultaneous repops would accomplish that. On Live there were repops on average once every 1-2 weeks, here we often go for months without patches.
