Default Hybrid boss respawns?

Rogean and crew maintain that variance is a good thing for anti poopsocking. All highend guilds have proven that they're gonna poopsock period. Whether with 10 or 2, whatever...

Rogean and crew also maintain that variance is good for the Euro/Asian population as well...to give them a chance that targets might spawn during their timeframe.

We, the majority, really really want simulated patch days where all bosses are up at the same time to force guilds to choose wisely.

Why not a hybrid of both? Variance (without that garbage extended bullshit) complete respawns?

1) This still lets Euro/Asians have a shot, and makes guilds decide which targets to go for, while still maintaining competition if two or more guilds choose same targets...

2) This might alleviate some poopsocking still since trackers will be spread out and there's only so many people who can log into trackers...we all know TMO still might carry and advantage in this, but they still need to concentrate forces and decide wisely. One could argue, well they're so big they can just split forces. Let's be honest, that takes a TON of effort, and if they do that, they still have to have the right people leading raids to be effective anyways...

3) This will be fun and create new dynamic, and actually be closer to classic...since variance isn't really classic anyways...I prefer simulated patch days during EST Primetime, but that's selfish of me hah...

Keep R&F out, and please reply with constructive criticisms/support? I'd even welcome addendum's/fixes to my idea!

I'm not sure I've seen this idea gain steam, but methinks given enough support, perhaps it might grace the ears of the devs...

GM's/Devs please chime in from your perspectives on factors we're not thinking about. I think the server populace has proven it cannot police itself nor act with maturity. So, I'd imagine telling us to "deal with it" just won't cut it longterm. Or you don't have to...this is just a friendly open discussion...

PS: Keep FTE Shouts too...enforce no-kiting/stalling like it sorta is now...

Would this be difficult to code one variance timer which feeds respawn triggers to all raid bosses on the server simultaneously?
