I don't quite understand what's "unfair" about the situation, at least with regards to what's been discussed in this thread. If you want the windows shortened, you should advocate for that directly, but it's tangential to Bob's suggsted lasseiz-fair raiding ruleset.
My complaints about the raid scene were relevant in the context I mentioned them (you can go back and check), and I already responded to Bob's suggestion. This thread isn't entirely about Bob's idea anymore. A big problem with his idea was that it doesn't fix the raid scene for the guilds outside of the top two. For those guilds the only way to compete is to devote an amount of time to the game that was never required in classic. That's what I believe is unfair. If you've ever actually been in the situation of having to track for a raid mob with variance on this server you'll know that it's ridiculous. Most raid mobs have a 48 hour variance which means their window can be up to four days long. Sure, there are ways to make it work (like tracking while doing something else if you're able to be near a computer all day), but it's still a colossal waste of time that was never needed in classic. While lots of things in eq are a huge waste of time, this is unique because it was invented here - it isn't classic at all.
