My static has people from every NA DC in it an we've been raiding together ever since cross DC travel became possible and we could finally do end game content together without having to level an alt/not play on our main to raid together. I'm sure there's plenty of raid groups out there with a similar makeup. These aren't just random people I raid with and then never see until next reset day--they are people I hang out with outside of raid who have become my real friends. Suddenly locking down DCs again after opening them would absolutely be damaging to the community.
