I'd favor allowing campouts for NToV to be allowed at prep spot and the other two dragons allowed nearby their location to prevent the requirement to compete being 4+ mages sitting there for an entire window waiting to CotH people (also this will depend on whether they applied horrible variance to mobs unclassicly).
What are current variances on beta? Higher variances = more poopsocking with little advantage and massive disadvantage. Low variance means guilds can be more ready around spawn times of specific targets; if Velious turns into a massive CoTH poopsock on all raid targets, the guild with the most mages wins.

If targets have 16 hour variances, many of them will simply go to whoever can field the most mages for 16 hours at a time. If a window is only 3 hours, it still comes down to who has more mages, but the poopsock of who has more mages for the most amount of time goes away.
