I didn't say whether I want it dumped or not. Frankly I play when I can and when I can't trust that my guildmates at least attempt to race for the raid mobs that spawn at odd hours due to variance. It's led to some interesting tactics that even upon failing has left us with some fun experiences.
Do I want to know that I only have to log on at 6:35pm est every week? Nah, I'd probably not play as often. On the other hand, others would play more. Dumping variance and adding rotations may be classic but racing, training, and wiping are just as classic depending on where you came from. Rotations would be reasonable if you still had to be responsible for tracking the mob and if you didn't realize it was up, failed, or decided to pass due to low numbers at an odd hour, it would go to the next on the list.
The fruit of my post: If you feel it a better idea to add rotations "because it's classic," keep variance but tighten the window a bit, add rotation but impose strict time limits that are dynamic with level ranges/item increases (set this via guilds deciding on what is considered reasonable yet still competitive)
