Considering the community has long since developed trackers (no bots involved, simple information tracking) that narrow down the possible spawn points to 1-2, it should be extremely rare for spawners to miss out on their own spawn now.

SE has said even spawners don't own what they spawn. It's still an open hunt. Will they change their stance on that at some point? Only time will tell.

I still thinking using a reduced vuln buff modified from what Trion uses for some of the world events in RIFT (or at least used to when I played) would be the best compromise. Any damage dealt over a certain amount appropriate for the intended level would be nullified while the mark's HP pool and damage would remain what it's always been. It remains accessible and a challenge for the players at the level intended but high level players won't be able to come along and smash it in 20 seconds, giving more players (not to mention the spawners) time to arrive and participate.
