Sure you can't MQ it, but you can still sell the loot rights. I feel like no one does this because it just wouldn't be profitable due to the accessibility of these mobs, which is mostly because they have no variance.

I'm not sure maestro should be considered a raid mob at all, just because he's so trivial, but that's just my opinion.

Should Phinny have a variance? He can drop MQ's for several epics, all of which are fairly rare. Are we concerned that phinny not having a variance screws over casual players?

Like I said before, we can all speculate about what would happen, but in the end the only evidence we have is (a) what happens with similar mobs on this server, and (b) what happened with maestro on classic when he had no variance, and in neither case does the doomsday scenario of maestro being camped 24/7 happen.
