It is no different than what is going on now, really. They just won't be able to organize as quickly.

Scenario 1:
Players sit around in EC waiting for mob to spawn.

People start shouting they are forming a raid. Whoever recruits faster goes up. People start picking favorites and forming tight circles that become exclusive.

Scenario 2:
Players sit around in EC waiting for mob to spawn.

Raid mob spawns, everyone has to ensure everyone has a ride to get there. Someone has to let their dog out and never comes back. Someone alt tabs and takes forever. Someone goes LD. Everyone waits. Players decide those people have taken too long. Mob is slain. Players come back 30 minutes later and petition that the entire group of players online who asked to be a part of the raid were skipped out on because of greed / they knew I needed the item too so they cut me out etc.

Hence the sarcasm and irony in what I posted.

I really think the guild leaders and officers or select reps should be talking about these in private then taking the ideas back to their guilds on private forums so the ideas aren't buried in the tripe that is being thrown around in these threads. You have a few people here posting over and over again that don't agree and will never agree to the ideas being posted and they may or may not even be in a guild that raids and more than likely have no say in the decision anyway. I have said it several times to get a working solution the discussions need to be all in private with the guilds hearing about the ideas from their leaders. It is their leaders and officers responsibilities to make the decisions if you trust them to lead you then trust them to look out for your and your guild mates best interests. These threads attract trolls(myself unfortunately included atm) like shit attracts flies.
