I think people are getting hung up on it not being classic.
Of course it's not classic.
I typed that in the twitch chat amidst a myriad of other non classic suggestions. It's hard.. to make a classic raid scene work. How it's currently working with R/C is better than many previous rulesets.
That being said, I will not solely decide ANY rules for raiding, because I am no longer responsible for enforcing them. The GMs, and Rogean, as lead CSR, should have more of a say in those matters because they deal with the consequences.
This was a random thought, that players either like, hate, or are commenting on because I said it. If it's the latter, consider it a random thought that none of the staff suggested other than me - just like the
skill-based-pro-pickup raid nilbogcare system I proposed before the current raid rules were implemented.
