Here is the problem with low variance though: it exists to solve the whole 10 guilds on a spawn thing. If you lower the variance, no matter what you do, you'll get more poopsocking and more FTE issues. At the end of the day, the problem is there are simply too many high level raiders for this server. So you are left with 4 choices:
1) Ignore the problem and hope that FTE disputes get so awful that players agree to a rotation (would probably happen in the end, but hell for the GMs in the mean time)
2) Make the raid scene suck so much that a lot of the high level players don't want to deal with it (variance)
3) Instancing (in the end I think this is probably the best solution, ala WoW, but its not classic and our devs are against it)
4) Simultaneous repops (spread out the raid mobs so each player can only attend a few raids a week rather than all of them).
TL;DR: Rogean and Nilbog had some good plans until Rogean went MIA again.
