OK guys, let's be honest. Noobs could give two shits about the top end and raiding. Let's cater to the noobs then.
Multiply the XP in a different zone each week to get everyone in one zone.
Definitely increase the xp modifier for lower levels.
Low end GM events with low end droppable gear.
VERY random drops on low end gear from random mobs.

As for the raiding end, why not have 3 raid mobs spawn at random during the week?

Noobs are what we need, so let's encourage people to start here.
