In theory this idea should work, but your suggested theory somewhat came into fruition yesterday and caused the same problems the OP posted about. Inny, Fay, VS all popped within what a 5 hour window and the socking and chaos still continued.

There really isn't one way to fix the problem. No matter what happens, there will always be someone bitching about blah blah. The once a week pop does sound enticing as well as encourages the tier 2 guilds to compete, but like previous posters opined, how will this work for other time zones, what else will people be doing 6-7 days of the week? I'm guessing 2/3 of the population work full-time jobs. 8 hours coupled with atleast 6 hours of sleep, you don't have much of a window to hit targets unless you wake up from bed. This proposed theory could possible work on like a Saturday/Sunday, when there is less RL shit to do and more free time to play some EQ

Personally, I just don't see the GMs doing anything about it because there have been countless pages about this topic and they have been pretty stern on their decision.

inny, vs, fay all popped at different times, imagine if they had all popped at the same time and TMO hit VS first, what do you think IB and VD would have done?

Now imagine over an 8hr window there is a chance for all targets to spawn at once. Having them pop at the same time eliminates guilds trying to fight each other for one mob (at least till the last few). Having them pop 1 by 1 encourages guilds to fight over it.
