Well I prefer no variance at all so that people can plan their schedules a bit "sorry honey, I can't spend time with your mom tomorrow cause i'm going to spend 8 hours killing pixellated dragons!". I don't think any one time will be fair or accepted for our global base either, so that's why I'd prefer to have a set of times that we rotate through, for example if we did 1PM Wednesday, 6PM Friday, 10AM Saturday, and 11PM Sunday and rotated through them I don't think anyone would have cause for complaint except maybe the Aussies.

Now if your only goal here is to spend a lot of time logged on waiting for boss mobs, than obviously this system is bad for you. But in the mean time you can play an alt, or help people with their epic gruntwork, or just go outside and see some sunlight.

But I think there is a very nice dual effect here: on raid days we have more people, and on other days we have more "real" players too, who are actually doing something and not just sitting there logged on for a spawn.

If you can't plan your weekly schedule around 8hrs once a week, then that is your problem. Not everyone is going to make every raid. It's just the way it is. You're thinking of a 1 time situation as to why something isn't going to work every week.

8hr window once a week that stretches across decent times for all time zones should work, if not i know a 12hr window will. To me an 8hr window would/could cover everyone's timezone to some extent while also keeping the window short enough for it to not be a problem for most.
