This is how the system was originally designed - only raid mobs. However I'm considering applying it to everything, but if that was the case there would be safeguards put in, such as automatically porting everyone to the zone in, or only if they were in aggro range of a mob that spawned, etc. There are systems that can be designed to prevent that, and trust me I think of all these things whenever considering something like that.. we aren't that narrow minded.
