What is the Red raid scene really like?

[Hailto]

I need a change of pace from blue, and I don't have the time to devote anymore to do 4 am batphones. Some of the stuff I've been reading in threads suggested that at least at one time there was some sort of agreement between guilds to not poopsock content and 4am batphone raid encounters. Is this actually the case? Can you raid on Red without having to have ventrillo open 24/7 to hear some nerd scream about Trakanon at 3am when you have to work at 9?

I wouldn't be opposed to rolling here if the end game isn't completely retarded. Any input?
