Raiding has always required competence and is supposed to be fun.


People who put their names on lists to be text messaged to slay a dragon at 3 am is not competent or fun. It's called stupidity. And congrats on being the stupidest!
This just made me think of how brilliant FFXI was with their job system (which I've always thought was brilliant). Since 1 character could switch to any other 'class' at will and in the early days of FFXI it was extremely time consuming to unlock content (going through the storyline quests and the like) there was very little point in having more than one character. Because of this it made raid targets that much more of a challenge because people simply didn't have multiple characters they could camp at various targets. This meant if two or more mobs were in window then people would have to choose which ones to camp and then race to the next after one pops.

Of course, this was also closer to the case in classic EQ simply because people didn't have the time/knowledge to level so many characters up (or the ability to own multiple accounts without paying big monthly fees and the ability to legitimately purchase those accounts with platinum)

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.
