I'm not convinced.
Not a huge raider in eq.. actually never done it... but i don't see why camping raid targets should be changed because you dont want to actually spend the time to camp them.
It's simple imo.. if a group of people wants a raid target.. they log on in force and go to a spawn point and wait. Camping is always time consuming but if you really want the gear its worth it.
P99 actually seems to have a nice enforcement of camps thing going... but like i said i haven't raided yet.. idk how well they enforce raid camps or w/e.
Would be lame if one afk ranger could claim a "camp" while a group of people were there waiting for a monster.

the majority of the people that play on P99 are raiding in the top 3 guilds. These same people are forced to camp characters, can't really start alts and do groups and if they do, they might have to /q out the group because some random pop'd early in window. On any given week there is, at best, a 1-2day opening where either nothing or only 1 thing is in window.
Taking away the variance on raid mobs does more good than just for the raiding scene. More groups will happen at all levels, making the server population rise.
Making all the targets spawn at once = someone gets slightly bested on mobilization and immediately goes for the next best target. Instead of a race to FTE, it's a race to see who gets more. It happens every time. (obviously VP could be left out of this, or added I don't care)
The only thing it would do is stretch out the population and people would be able to play the game again who are raiding. It would probably bring some people back too, but who knows. Not to mention that bda/taken/div would probably be able to get in on targets as well.
