not a single player has told me to plan on raiding

I said spawn times would be known, where do I say unknown?

No variance and repops are two seperate entities, unless you are discussing staggered respawns which has also been discussed ad nauseum.

No variance is discussed in this thread. Repops have gone 80+% TMO, 15-25% FE, 5-10% everyone else for the last 4 or 5. Part of these results are due to the minimal foreknowledge about the respawn, so TMO and FE with their higher body count and superior mobilization batphone and respond the fastest. If respawns were more widely known, the guilds with lesser mobilization skills could prepare better, but then you enter the realm of theory where TMO/FE would have similar time to also prepare better and that might keep the status quo.

You've still not brought anything new to the argument, even going as far as admitting this was discussed "months ago".
