Open petition to reduce variance to +/- 4 hours

[trite]

I was always under the impression that variance had led to a lack of competition at the high end because only guilds with sufficient numbers and organization could commit the resources required to sock a spawn regularly. A guild with only 40 lvl 60 characters ready to raid could have gotten them to show up for sev or trakanon once a month if they knew exactly when it was going to spawn well ahead of time. At least then they'd have a shot at it but to ask the entirety of a small group to wait in ready for hours every week for their shot at FTE was impossible.

Correct. The smaller a variance range gets, the better situation gets for a larger number of guilds who have the capability to kill the mob but less of a desire to waste their time staring at a spawn point.
