Interesting idea, but really hard to organize and enforce. I really don't want to perform background checks on every player that attacked and killed X mob to see if they have "raiding guild" ties. Not a great use of my time.

But, I think I understand where you are coming from. I've always loved the draft, working with players to create it was awesome. It enforces my desire to open content up for more players to experience that was historically locked down to just the top guilds. When the draft was first created we had a "staff pick", where staff acted as a raid entity during the drafting process. These would be open raids for all to join. But due to game limitations, having 400+ players in Kael or ToV just didn't work out, lots of lag and desyncing. Till we figure out those limitations, staff picks are on pause.

If someone wants to form a new guild and start raiding with it, nothing is stopping them. They can start competing for targets and ask for UN speaker rights. Or join an alliance like Sanctum(blue).
