I've posted more than once on random server restarts to mimic live. I think we all remember the weeks where servers came down for patches up to 3 or 4 times. In the AMAZING Dark Ascension thread going on over in R&F someone mentioned having the spawn variance being even larger.
But.. What if... The spawn variance was more like -4/+1 for 7 day targets, and -2/+1 for 3 day spawns. This would give an opportunity for more than 1 mob a week (mimicking patch day spawns) and not allow a ridiculous potential 9 day spawn on a 7 day target.
EDIT* -2/+1 could be somewhat short for the 3 days, maybe even -36/+24..
