Raid windows

As a very casual player and nowhere near being a raider, how _I_ would have my fantasy online game (stuck in my head) played out with these raid bosses (dragons) would be as followed:

+/- one week _and_ +/- 24 hours so it would be quite random.

Then I would have these raid bosses not appearing on any forms of tracking. "Realistically", it is not like these dragons would be walking around leaving footprints. Thus if you want to see if something is there, then risk your way into the depth of the dungeon and look into its lair...

...and if you're fried to a crisp, then yes - the raid boss awaits.

A bit of an evil streak in me.

How in the hell is that going to amount to you getting a dragon? This dream you have that the raid guild just wont notice a prime time dragon and the casual gets it, is just that, a dream.

In my gaming world, slaying a dragon would be an exception, not the norm like here in Project 1999.

Which leads me into one of my annoyances with Live as it added expansions. As players, we were supposed to be some mere mortal with gifts. Enough experience and we attempt to slaughter mythical beasts (dragons). Then we gained more power and went to kick some god and goddess ass without question, without a disruption of power on the mortal planes. But then we went beyond immortal beings and knocked the teeth out of some demi-god vampire. Afterwards we went out to take out gobble-de-**** named mobs that were not worshiped but apparently were much more powerful than our initial gods and goddesses?

Perhaps I played too much second (and a touch of third) edition of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons where entering the immortal planes was an undertaking unto itself. And then to confront an immortal that could with a mere thought, practically destroy you...?

Just my thoughts.
