not a single player has told me to plan on raiding

Falkun, I really have enjoyed your posts in this topic to this point but you don't seem to be able to grasp this extraordinarily simple point:

If there is No Variance, and if there are Repops, then basically every raid mob will pop at what is practically the same time over a course of weeks and months. How are the enormous Tracking guilds to compete with this on an hour-for-hour basis?

No Variance and Repops are what is Classic. There is absolutely no gainsaying that. Additionally, it would free numerous raid mobs for engagement by "other" raid forces than TMO and FE, something that is imminently desirable for P99.

What exactly is your objection to this model?

Not every raid mob on a respawn would be killed at exactly the same time, therefore as long as every spawn cycle is not a full repop, mob timers will diverge to a degree large enough that multiple forces will be able to contest every spawn until the next repop realigns all spawns onto the exact same timer. Even a timer of a few minutes apart would allow a sharp raid-force to mobilize to the second (or third, etc.) in adequate time.
