doesn't take any calculation to see that any chance to make the mob spawn later, with no chance to spawn sooner, will cause less spawns per unit time.

one solution is rogean should just change the variance code without telling anyone. (maybe tell nilbog, but dont tell the gms). change it so the windows are just a bit smaller than they are now, maybe even make the different targets have slightly different windows. it would take a while for people to catch on to the change, and in that time socking will be way down because it will just seem like random luck that mobs haven't been going super late in window lately. when people start to figure it out, change it again.

or we could, ya know, start to all get along. make an agreement not to sock b4 so many hours are left in the window, agree to just roll for a super late window mob rather than fight for fte, or think of some other solution that doesn't involve crying for rogean to fix the problem.
