GMs could have automatic server-wide announcements when (or shortly before) a raid target spawns. Batphoning still prevails, but without the mandatory exhaustive tracking.

How about instead of a flat out announcement that says "Hey guys! CT is up!" you could have some kind of serverwide message signaling that a raid mob is due anytime in the next X amount of hours? The lack of specificity on which mob it is and when it is up ensures that guilds are still required to track and actively seek out targets, but it also lessens the need for hardcore poopsocking/batphoning to have a chance at a target. Im sure guilds like Divinity/Taken/BDA will be much more motivated to track and mobilize for targets if they can without a doubt tell their members "Hey if you're able to be online during this timespan theres a chance we can get a raid mob kill"
Also the message could be something kind of ominous and foreboding just so newer players will be like "What the fuck was that?"
How hype would you be to start looking for a mob if you're just grinding or farming an item then all the sudden serverwide you see some shit like "A shiver runs down your spine as the air around you becomes colder." and then every raid guild starts scouting and mobilizing/positioning for the mobs theyre most interested in?
Of course if only one mob was in window that would pretty much guarantee which mob it was, maybe you could have it so messages only trigger if more than one mob is in window?
