They aren't required. It's like you, and every other person who thinks like this, heavily misunderstand what the use of a static is. It's not to get into the content, it's to play with people who are consistently (or supposed to be) on the same wavelength as you are. You can make a "static" with your on 8 friends and run the content.

For example in Aion, you can only run an instance a number of times. You either go with your static for those fights, or you go with randoms. You are locked out thereafter, win or lose. It's the *exact same thing here. Except there is only 1 instance worth a damn, and it has a very long lockout timer. So the only actual problem is there isn't enough raids to justify the one week lockout. Any other argument is wrong.
