The only alternative to socking is instancing. P99 already has a welfare system via the draft, which I think is already a happy medium.

Every other month all the raid mobs are locked, eligible guilds draft which mobs they get to kill (traditional snake draft). They get the entire week to kill the mobs uncontested. If the mobs aren't all dead by week's end the guild that drafted the mob has to run an open raid and random off the loot.

That's cool that wasn't around in my day.

What happens if people vote for the same mob? Is there like ranked choice or lottery?

The eligible guilds /random for pick order in a series of rounds. Each guild usually ends up with a list of mobs of comparable value.

To be eligible, you have to kill a Vindi. That's pretty much it.
