Wow reading this, it might mean a deal breaker for most players. I mean come on you have to wait to sack a city before you get to raid a boss? Real people live on schedules and cant wait for the game to ALLOW them to raid. I mean come on i only have a limited time to play most of the time because of RL and id like to raid on my schedule. I like the fact that in wow i can sign up for a raid on the weekend and have immediate access to it, no muss no fuss. If they impliment it the way they are talking here its going to drive away alot of the older crowd. Which is also usually the more competent and mature people. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

2 things:
1. You can still raid on your own schedule via WAR's public quest system.
2. When a faction's capitol is ransacked, the raid instances are open to you for like a week, so it is quite flexible when you raid.

"If they impliment it the way they are talking here its going to drive away alot of the older crowd."

You can still raid, but you can't farm the same raid boss repeatedly ad nauseum. This will not have much of an impact considering most people hate playing the same shit for the 50th time in a row.
