There have been maybe 2-3 times when FE had a group sitting on VS spawn and TMO wanted to sock or at least have mains logged out in KC, but like I said, camping out at a raid mob with buffs is a trakanon thing.

People track, yes, but I bet track coverage is only like 50% for stuff like naggy, vox, maestro, tal, etc; far from 24/7 on every mob that is in window for all of every window. People log on 40 for trak or VS or good VP dragons, but not for the others I bet. People only log out a raid force for instant respond at maybe 1.5 of the nearly 20 raid targets.

Like I said. That description of "raiding" on p99 was only remotely accurate for 1 of the 18ish raid targets on the server.
50% is 48 hours of a 96 hour (pre-extension) window btw. That's significant, even if you understated at 50%. You don't actually raid these mobs; it's a different feeling when you decide how much you are going to pay TMO for their rots when you respond to their batphone rather than competing for a mob btw. That being said, it's to each their own. I have no problem with the way you play the game. You just have a different perspective.
