Aadill, you're doing the same thing Humwawa was: a strawman argument.
Dumping variance, as i noted on the previous page, raises other issues. Assuming FTE with no changes minus variance, though, is your own issue that you've just created. It requires rewriting it all and starting from a blank slate. Your scenario is just one in a dozen of scenarios that played themselves out daily on live servers.
Furthermore, your own proposal of lessening the windows creates much the same problem -- clusterfuck(s). That one wasn't so implausible was it? But think about it further and you'll realize that many of them face much the same issue.
There are ways to reduce GM involvement while keeping it strictly, or as close to, classic as we possibly can. The guilds willing to wake up at 3am will always get more targets. The guilds that wipe will lose their shots. There will still be tiered progression. Wake up people.
