We do care if people train zones or whatever. The only bad part about it is, typically it'll happen at 3am or some odd time I'm not awake. I can't do anything if I can't see it. I do make a note of the person who was petitioned with the reasoning for it. So I keep an eye out for them.
As for a guilds and their raid antics. It's not that bad right now. It's nothing like it was for 7 months or so during the IB/TMO/VD raid wars. I refuse to allow it to slip to that again, no matter who the guild is. People have argued that GMs shouldn't be involved and the player base will work it out. This didn't work the 7 months it happened, so why would it suddenly work now?
As for the patrons thing:
I know there is a Raid Guild Discussion area on the boards. If a guild has an issue that needs to be resolved, only the Guild Leader/Officer should post something. They can post their side of the situations and have all Fraps/Logs out there so all the raid leaders can see, and maybe work it out from there. I'm not sure who all has access to it. I'm sure we can get the leaders access so we can try this out and see how it goes.
Bottom line has been if the players work something out, the GMs will step back and allow it. We won't enforce it, the player base has to police their own. This is the way it should be. GMs/Guides shouldn't have to show up to raid encounters knowing something is going to happen. We should only have to show up and correct something if it's bugged. I'm sure Chest, Zeelot, or any other raid leader who has petitioned in game for a situation, received my respect and I listened to the entire situation and walked though it with them can attest to this.
TL/DR
We have a raid section. Get the Guild Leaders+1 or 2 officers access to post what they need to. They can give all information there, work out a good course of action as to what happened and what needs to be done.
