With no GM authority, these raid talks are worse than useless

Why not just have a zone where you just spawn mobs weekly on the schedule that best works for whatever guilds want.

That way its like we could not play Everquest at all like it was on live and just log in, kill stuff and be on our merry way?

The LAST thing I want is a GM enforced player behavior that isn't disruptive and following the server rules for FTE is not disruptive. The point of competition is competing.
