Then you would have to have a no leapfrog clause. If you had no leapfrogging, then you would have to have a rule where a guild had to legitimately clear. Then there would be no real way to regulate who was "clearing first." blah blah etc etc. You get the idea.

In summary, changing the spot where people will poopsock and log out alt armies wont help anything.
Leapfrogging is classic EQ raiding. If you don't like leapfrogging, you don't like competition and you don't like EverQuest. Training was a pretty regular occurrence, too. Egregiously intentional training was punished, but most of the time, it was pretty much self-policing. Unless you wanted to be trained in return, you did your best to avoid training others.

None of the things you mention are actual problems. That's raiding. That's competition.

Trying to fix classic EverQuest raiding is what got the server into this mess.
