Stop right here, go back and read the thread, then post.
Original Post:
I havent read all of this thread, but I just wanted to comment on something many people seem to ignore, or just not think about.

Yes, there may be these instance seeds based on a timestamp (or whatever crazy theory you have). But they are a SEEEED in a number generator. If you plug that same seed in multiple times, you will get multiple results. It's simply to start the RNG process, as far as I understand.

So even if you could create that same seed over and over again, be it a raid leader, a timestamp, or which non-combat pet you have out, it still will not influence any loot drops in any controllable manner.

I admit I have no knowledge of how these systems, or WoW's in particular handle the random generator, but surely what I said above makes sense.
