Riot praying for raid ban

Go full custom content mode. Hear me out:

Sounds extreme right? It's a modern solution that allows everyone to raid regardless of guild tag.

This is far too much overhead, coding, and organization to realistically expect to happen. Plus the "cOmPeTiTiOn" crowd would lose their shit, and keep in mind Rog is on record saying he wants a competitive raid scene.

Quaking every respawn spreads out the opportunities for mobs, reduces GM workloads, eases but doesn't eliminate the toe-to-toe guild conflict, and encourages a more classic feel in the raid scene by encouraging a bit more actual mobilization and target prioritization rather than simply logging in your parks one target at a time.

As someone else mentioned, there were very frequent server resets, much more than we get quakes. If the idea with quakes is to simulate server downtime then ideally we should be quaking every Tuesday at 1PM eastern or some shit. I recall the devs out in Calilfornia bringing servers down for maintenance on weekday mornings. If there was downtime on weekends or primetime it was emergency server issues.

Obviously a Saturday/Sunday or even Friday night schedule would make more sense for our raid meta, but it would still approximate classic raiding better than armies of 60's and bots socking sixteen hour windows all week long.
