Current Raid Meta: Good or Bad?

[Samoht]

While FTE might be the simplest rule set, it is far from the fairest rule set.

Lottery ensures the fairest distribution, and the closest thing we have to that is the draft. The obvious problem with the draft is that it is not weighted to population, so building mega zerg guilds hurts your loot distribution during the lottery.

..which funnily enough is exactly how you control the FTE meta.

The way the AI is arguing against lockout makes me believe that the prompt was somehow tainted against the lockout meta because it uses terms like "server-wide downtime" and "bottleneck"

Where did the AI get the idea that there was any downtime or bottlenecks with lockouts? People not locked to your engage are free to go do whatever else they want, including FTEing something else.
