A race to VS from the zone-in as opposed to the pit just means the idiots in each guild are going to train everyone. At least with a camp-out this is minimized, as is leapfrogging since it basically puts people on even footing. It's merely a reduction of your ideal raiding race. A race from Seb zone-in to Trakanon lair isn't fun - it's just going to be a bunch of bullshit trains, or it's going to be FIVE MINUTES OF INTENSE COTHING.

Don't get me wrong - I'm all for de-escalating the camp-out situation (except for Trakanon), but most people don't even really understand the series of events that led up to such a habit.
