Anything unclassic should have a VERY high bar for sticking around here.

I don't know what the staff's concerns/priorities are, but I find it hard to believe that varians is really serving those priorities so highly it's worth ignoring the upper-left corner of the screen.

All variance does it make it so the no lifers are the only ones raiding. Tracking on P99 is literally a full-time job and there are just enough sickos willing to do it so that everyone has to do it or you just aren't part of the raid scene at all.

It would be far more classic in spirit if guilds could summon raid mobs - AKA undead bard and Trakanon - so that they could have scheduled guild activities.

You could have a reasonably successful "casual" guild by only competing for mobs that go in the last few hours of their window. Let's say there are roughly 30 raid targets per cycle. Assuming spawn time chances are evenly distributed, 7 or 8 of those will go in the last quarter of their window. The great thing is that you are guaranteed to have a shot at the mob as there will be a 100% chance it spawns while you're tracking it.
