Default Solution to raiding situation

Remove the windows.

Knowing exactly when a mob will pop benefits smaller guilds as they can mobilize for that mob without batphone. Being able to plan in advance is huge for smaller / casual guilds as it allows their members to make arrangements with RL. Batphone works well for dedicated gamers. But people with a busy RL can't drop their job, their baby, their elderly, their workout, etc, and immediately get to a computer ready to raid EQ.

Without windows, many mobs will pop close together, following the quake or patch repops. Big guilds will have to make choices, go for Trak or for VS, or maybe go for Fay as they have a bunch of druids who have been whining, etc. Smaller guilds will inevitably have some mobs to kill.

Sometimes the repop timers will benefit some time zones, sometimes - others. That's ok. Eventually someone will wipe, timer will be pushed back, etc etc.

Back on live we didn't have variance and I think it worked out well for everyone in the end.
Big guilds and/or guilds willing to put in the extra effort still got the lion's share, as they should, but the smaller guilds usually could snipe some cool stuff as well.
