They should uncap Wildfire Potency and let it be a % of how much damage you can shove into it.

That would eliminate the entire point of the mitigation efforts to allow MCH to be played with higher ping. It was uncapped during Stormblood, and if you didn't live directly on top of the servers, it was nigh-impossible to get a max damage Wildfire as you pressed all of your buttons slam-jamming everything into it. WF having a specific GCD amount w/ potency increases per GCD and lining up with Hypercharge+1 GCD was in direct response to higher-ping players not being able to play the class optimally due to no fault of their own.

That could've been achieved just as well by extending it's duration by like 2 seconds, not like getting an additional unbuffed Split Shot into Wildfire after you've executed the "intended" burst would've made it completely broken.

Yes, but that's where you aren't losing anything by Uncapping Wildfire. You're still going to be blasting with your most powerful attacks first during a Wildfire Window anyway using old Wildfire, since FMF, Air Anchor, Chainsaw, Excavator, and Drill with Reassemble on top of it would provide more potency than you can get with Hypercharge alone if we're going off of a 2m Burst Window with 5 GCDs. You'd just make sure to work on stocking your Double Check and Checkmate beforehand without overcapping so you can handily add on more damage than what you're resetting for if we go off a 10s timer(can become 15s to stack damage properly and blow up in raid buffs). And for good measure add in Queen as well.

Would you rather huge potency buffs? Because I wouldn't mind that route being taken either if we're going to have MCH actually be truly selfish. It's either that or Queen/Rook applies a Vuln Up like it used to on top of what it's already doing for the rDPS.

They have only fixed this mid EW when they finally added overheat stacks that we've been asking since SB to address the issue. ShB MCH was a bit less egregious in how tight the window was, but on the other hand it didn't have the luxury of having a high ping alternative rotation due to the amount of required weaves.
The thing is, even if OGCDs cannot be capped the same way GCDs can, as long as GCDs act as the gatekeeper, the problem should be self contained because no matter the ping, you know that the last GCD is the one that will detonate WF.
