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.

Nilbog, just remember you will never get a consensus here because everyone will bust out their calculators and figure out how many mobs they will add or subtract from their tally and vote accordingly. Most of the people that are complaining here are horrified at not being able to win by facerolling their keyboards just because they poopsock. So fuck it, do whatever you think it takes to make a more fun raid scene, whether its rumbles w/ports, the nilbog miniraid plan, or whatever else you can think up.
Personally I am fine with straight classic mechanics, i.e. no variance. If we aren't going to have classic mechanics, we should at least go for classic feel. The current raid scene and its poopsocking/camped out accounts feel about 0% classic to me. Logging on and mobilizing? That feels way, way more classic, not to mention fun. A guild based opt-in would work fine IMO. A-Team gets ported; Kittens do not. If you don't like your guild's stance on rumbles, join another guild.
Joyelle, I can assure you that all of this stuff is trivial to code up in comparison to mob pathing or network updates. This here is real freshman CS stuff: if X, then Y.
