People always want what they can't have or get... lol, and when this happens they whine about it. cycle of life.

As for

This is everquest, you camp things.

Sorry, but you do sound new here. Variance is not classic. It was added here to try to fix non classic involvment. Non classic raid scene means non classic EQ. Pretty much like duct tape, FTE disputes and David Copperfielding (and so much more that I won't discuss here). It's how the raid scene is, and it's here to stay. Ok fine. But don't talk about classic EQ if you don't know how both worked on Live and here.
Without the variance, I'm pretty sure small guilds would camp such things, since FTE rule would give everybody a chance to get it.
Smaller guild doesn't mean players who don't want to raid, or put some efforts. Far from it. It just means not ready to go to lengths some are willing to go. The request, is a favor to give us a chance to raid like it was on Live (at least for many servers), which was much more reasonable.
