I have the most unclassic approach to this problem, and although I'm sure it will be met with much hostility, it is something to consider:
Add an NPC in east commons that sells raid lottery tickets. 1000pp each or something. When a raid mob spawns, it will announce the winning number and whoever holds the ticket can raid the mob with their guild or players of their choice. If they do not engage within 1 hour, the next number is chosen.
Not only will it allow a much larger variety of people to engage raid targets, it will slowly remove platinum from the server- combating inflation and excess platinum from exploits.
Possibly have the tickets mob based, to make for easier coding. Also, you could make VP , CT, and other top targets more expensive per ticket. Maybe 10k per VP dragon ticket.
Crazy? Maybe. But just imagine how much platinum this could remove and how much less of a hassle everything would be for the GMs
