not a single player has told me to plan on raiding

[Kagatob]

This thread is still going? Morons, get rid of FTE and variance at once, actually enforce PNP during raids (leapfrogging among a plethora of other things that go on in P99 weren't allowed in classic), disallow raid forces of alt armies to be camped at raid spawns. That's the correct first step in the right direction.

This has been debated to death and the GM's/Devs agree that it's the way to go, the issue is implementation. Get over yourselves thinking you know what's going on.
