Is the raid scene really that bad?

I'm not trying to say I'm not willing to put in any effort to get raid mobs, but from the complaining I had heard it sounded like TMO had mains/alts logged out all over the place and within minutes of something spawning they'd send out a text message and log in the characters sitting at the mob and kill it. It's good to see that this apparently isn't the case.

Don't mean to rain on your parade, but actually this WAS, IS, AND WILL BE the case.

TMO as a whole doesn't do this.

The older TMO crew does do this though. They have multiple accounts they have acquired and park characters around that need gear from specific encounters and it saves them from having to run to raid mobs with a main that no longer needs to attend that raid.

Some also have geared alts that need nothing and they use those for the same reason, to keep from having to move their main at a moments notice.

It's a byproduct of the variance system and an entire raiding guild (and a half) quitting the server and selling their characters for low platinum prices (to RMT).
