This would cause huge problems, and ridiculous amount of drama over drop priorities which is definitely not pointless. As for throwing SAMs & DRKs at it, that was clearly the most effective way everyone could think of after trying many different methods, come on now lets be real here. To sum that up, as about everything else about XI, AV was another terrible design/direction choice.
People not getting along = Community problem. SE can't hold our hands and make us play nice. AV wasn't the only concept Design SE had that asked/demanded people to work together. Besieged and Campaign followed the same concept. Doing only one strategy even though there are many others that work its exactly what narrow mind is.

Most of the time there are problems With fights that people require a certain setup even though other setups will work. its a community problem not a design problem.
