I see taking 96hr windows down to 18hr windows a step towards classic, who is to say later that the 18 can't go to 6 or to 1 or 0.

Let's test the waters, not jump back and forth between the extremes and complain.
Done correctly, no variance wouldn't promote poopsocking -- at least not in the P99 sense. No variance with FTE would result in guilds showing up about 20 minutes before a mob was due to pop. I don't consider that socking -- that's just prep time.

I get the idea of incremental decreases in the variance time, but I just don't see the point of half-assing our way back toward classic. But if Rogean really won't ever return to classic endgame, I guess other alternatives need to be considered.
