not a single player has told me to plan on raiding

also variance is as much a pain for tmo/fe as it is for anyone else. pretty sure even though you insinuate it helps us both of our guilds would gladly see it gone.

You soak it up by having a much larger raid force. That's something that was never required on live. Consequently, you also have the highest turnover rates on this server -- and the server itself has a very high turnover rate as well. People get to the raid scene, see it for what it is and promptly get the hell out. I can't say I blame them.

That's what Sirken so brilliantly pointed out but that's also a P99-specific, non-classic problem. It exists here and only here is it drawn to such an extreme extent.

classic didn't have stagnant content for years on end...

Then why continue to kill the same stuff for years when they don't need the loot? Do those mobs not spawn under the same variance as they did when people needed it? Does it surprise anyone that you have to keep recruitment open year-round to replace those that have had enough of the time sink?
