suggestion - instanced TOV

I do take the point that it isn't "classic".
But, we have:

• FTE broadcasts
• raid mob lock-outs for guilds
• division into Class C and Class R raid mobs / guilds
• GM enforced raid bans for breach of these raiding rules

None of these measures are classic. They have all been introduced to help improve the raid scene. If we can have these non-classic measures, then I would suggest it is also feasible to have the non-classic instancing.

With regards to picking and chosing instancing, or making everything instanced.
I know that this would completely change the entire raid scene. That was why I only suggested ToV as an instanced raiding environment. I suggested this as it is (arguably) the top end raid zone. I am not suggesting that anything else be instanced, only ToV.

In response to the comment that I should simply go to another server. Well, I really like this server, and I think the team running it are doing a great job. I don't want to leave! I just want a chance for me personally, (and for all the other guilds who aren't hardcore raiders) to raid in ToV.

Let's be honest; if the year was 2000, and this was a live server, most of the hardcore raid guilds would be perma-banned.

Instances are awful...Accordingly, i do not favor this proposal. However given any expectation of consideration for implementation is naught more than delusion, my contribution in this post is largely irrelevant ^^

If we would like to continue our theorycraft though, i propose a limited number of semi-persistent instance-like shards (say 2-4) for raid zones a la the late VsoH ^^
