I mentioned that during a conversation involving various nonclassic ways to fix camping out, and/or poopsocking raid targets. It was just a random idea.
I was actually going to type more on it, then I got called away, and left everyone hanging with a random idea lol. Sorry about that.
I had said when a raid npc pops, move characters of all raid guilds (online and offline) to west commons. My original thought was kerra ridge, but that benefits hat ports.
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to fix camping out of which I'm aware. Always willing to listen to suggestions, but this is one of the reasons future mmos made instances.

Nibog here is an option to solve the camping out issue.
As an example imagine A-Team, Omni, and IB are in Sebilis when Trakanon pops.
Server side you query /who A-team,IB,Omni, you prompt them with Y/N rezz box saying "Are you participating in TRAKANON", you chose Yes you are ported, choose No and nothing happens. An alternative, easier implementation is a no-choice succor that is a guild level opt-in/out. In either scenario the guild members of IB,Omni,A-team are all flagged server side and all online members who want to participate are succored to a random place or WC.
If I freshly log in (within 1 hour of pop) and I'm in one of those flagged guilds I am either I'm auto-succored or prompted to succor if I want to participate. You could keep the state for if someone has succored or not server side or as a buff per character (buff poofs when you log). Use Nagafens banish check code to make sure you have the flag or succor buff when engaging.
You now have verified that anyone engaged on the mob has been succored, was not socking, was not in zone, and has succored after logging in for a raid target.
I love the idea of a mobilization footrace across multiple zones to race. If you want to get totally crazy as part of the rules don't allow Leatherfoot caps (through code or rules) after they succor. You get cool mobilization scenarios then like, "Shit I need to go get our cleric out of Permafrost", "I can grab 3 people by meeting at X spot", "I can only get one member before we have to go, do I get the rogue or monk?"
