For the first 2 weeks of a tier, to enter a raid we should need to be at the entrance

Where you around during the coil raid patch? Cause I personally found it quite fun. And I feel like my suggestion with the slight buff hurts nobody, if you don't want to be there then it's exactly the same as it is today.

We shouldn't be basing content on whether trolls will ruin the experience or not. If that is the case then the game should just be made single player entirely.

SE's current servers can handle every casual being in the same zone during expansions, and hunts and all, so I feel just a small raider population in the zones wouldn't change anything. But again, we shouldn't be basing content on infrastructure either, the idea is put out there the actual implementation is on SE, and if they need to upgrade the servers then that's on the devs to figure out.

Basing content? Afking by a raid entrance is not content. This idea and your takes on it are just rather strange to me.

I mean this is obviously just some side thing that not everyone would care about. Right now this game has devolved into less of a mmo and more a just queue with rando npcs game. Back when we were at the entrance every week it was actually really fun. But as per my 2nd suggestion, if it's just a slight food buff for being there then if you don't like it you don't need to be at the entrance, then everyone's happy.

I'm not sure what you don't understand about the phrase "basing content"? Let me rephrase, whether there will be trolls should not be a consideration on the game design, if there are trolls you improve other systems like banning or blacklists to take care of that.
