Would you participate in a server wide twitter based batphone for raid mobs? (poll)

It seems like many people think all that is involved in killing these mobs is just 'getting a zerg together'. Somebody has to coordinate where to park toons etc. Somebody has to coordinate/lead the raids. Somebody has to divy out the loot. Somebody has to be 'the leader' and make decisions. Trust me, decisions are not easy or fast when you have some sort of 'guild council' with guild leadership from multiple guilds trying to agree on something. Who makes these final decisions? Who makes day-to-day decisions? It just seems like too many people think that killing raid mobs on this server is about having 'a zerg' when there is so much more coordination and organization that goes on for this to happen. There is far more drama and soulcrushing in coordinating a bunch of random people from multiple guilds than I think some of you care to admit. Then there's just the whole aspect of getting people to sign up for this, getting leadership of other guilds to take a hands-off approach while still supporting the idea to its members, and I still don't quite see how you are going to get people to reliably track, without a hard-coded reward system in place.

I don't mean to be super negative about the idea... I just think you highly underestimate what will happen to this group's morale when TMO beats them to the punch the first few times and they start to realize that most of the time they respond to these batphones, it's just to waste time and hear/watch TMO get loot. So yeah, I support the idea, but the problem is that I really believe it has a very low chance to ever happen in the first place or that it will continue to happen if it does actually get off the ground. There are so many factors that have nothing to do with 'having a bunch of people being there to kill a dragon' that people don't think about.

Maybe the main point I am trying to make, is that organizing these things takes rock-solid drama-free leadership. Unless there is an extremely motivated and efficient leader in place, I can't see this plan having any chance for success.

thats why u realize the troubles a zerg force assembled face.

it isnt about managing to kill or make casual kill wich can always happen maybe in a repop. but what about normal windows when u ahd to assemble the force wait for neverendin buff request, more people showing up and delaying? 90% of the raid efared or eatin aoes.
