All Players are Raid Suspended Until Further Notice

[Merekai]

I am a little confused here about something. Dark elves have been mentioned (i.e. do not raid kill the DE's) but my question is this:

It doesn't take a raid force to kill these mobs. When we kill coercer/advisor we have 3-4 people. Are we seriously not allowed to farm non raid mobs in order to get epic pieces/robes for turn in?

I also am a member of a casual guild that has never really touched any of the outdoor dragons/VS/CT etc. but I look forward to our sky raid every week. Glad we all got lumped in this together...
