To be fair, I was also envisioning a full alliance raid until the clarifications came down that it was just the cloud, I still think a full AR would have been way cooler but I'm happy with cloud. As far as having to "share the stage with people less adept", that just PF, if people want to eliminate competency variance then they should form a static. The only time I take issue with someone messing up my chaotic run is when they sign up beyond their prog point or join a farm party and fail basic stuff, I understand it more nowadays since prog PFs don't exist anymore but back then there were plenty of prog parties at plenty of prog points with plenty of players trying to get involved so if there wasn't a PF at your prog point you could make one and people were still joining PFs they weren't qualified for.
