Don't forget the bumgardener fiasco, who somehow tried to convince the server that he wasn't there when the rules were set and thus didn't have to abide by them. Drama flourishes and shit will hit the fan regardless of whether it's a 4 day window or not. The dojorn case being a prime example (and keeper of souls, as well). it ultimately worked itself out. Both with rule adjustments and player involvement. Both of these mobs are spawns that were not on a variance. Initially caused problems, sure, but they've been worked out.
When FTE hit the GMs/guides knew full well that there would be shitstorms in the near future, and they were there and hovering for the following 2-3 weeks. The argument that minimizing or removing variance will cause shitstorms is the same one we saw during poopsock > FTE.
