Would you participate in a server wide twitter based batphone for raid mobs? (poll)

Randoms for loot are terrible in that people who show up for 1 boss have a chance to win a godly drop over people who have been at the last 10 raids in a row and who will probably be at the next 10 raids in a row.


Even though this system isn't a guild, so it may not need as much emphasis on rewarding past effort in order to ensure continued future success, it still seems like a bad idea to me to do a totally random system. Happy medium, perhaps, would be a system where there are randoms for gear, but DKP awarded for prior raids add a flat number to your d100 or add a number of sides to your die roll.

If the people who joined this coalition wanted that, they'd be in TMO already. I'm sure this kind of raid force would be filled with people tickled just to fight a raid mob and have any kind of a shot at loot as opposed to the no raid mobs and no chance of loot they have presently.
