Except that one of the hardest things about LD is someone had to notice when others went LD amongst the chaos, which wasn't always easy. The character wouldn't be dropped immediately, but would instead sit there doing nothing for a minute or two. So it would need to not only stun them, but prevent them from typing into chat that they're stunned. And guilds these days use vent, so you'd basically need to block that somehow. Maybe we can ask the P99 resident DDOS'er for his services to DDOS individual players during raid encounters?
