You also cant be so blind as to see that if it did become a "bring your own force" type thing like say, ring war or any FTE target, why would there even be a roll anymore? It would straight up devolve into clickfest naturally because a few people wouldnt want to wait and because "muh competition." The people you're trying to reason with into not going to clickfest at that point are the same ones that sit in place or 15 hours to be the first to coth for statue / yelinak etc because rotations make you softer than charmin.

You seem to be willfully ignoring the possibility ... in fact, the necessity, of automated GMing to even make that scenario happen.

Scout will not suddenly have everyone (who is used to their lottery ticket system) suddenly agree with perfect consensus to switch to a "bring your own force" model! Never in a million years. The only way that will ever happen is if the staff (with a desire to make this place more classic) decides to make it happen ... and if they do, it's incredibly unlikely that they'd go back to clickfests.

Instead, if it happens it will be because the staff decided to implement some form of automated GMing, and that inherently solves the "clickfest problem" (just as another form of automated GMing, /list, does).
