The current raid scene isn't dismal only due to the lack of instancing--although instancing would surely fix it. It's dismal also in part because it's populated by a significant number of so-called adults who apparently never learned how to share. EQ is a fairly open ended game and the high end is what the players make it.
I consider instancing a generally good tool that's overused in some other games. However I don't seriously suggest its adoption here simply because it's contrary to the purpose of P1999.
