As I said Meowy, a Lotting system would be a very easy way to implement multiple party raids with the NEW system. But without the Combat Sharing aspect of the new system, it is impossible. You can't have multiple party events if multiple parties can't share a single target. The new system effectively adds that possibility. Essentially it is the Alliance System of FFXI without the invite and shared loot. The bonus for not having those is you are now no longer restricted to 3 party alliances. You can have infinite party alliances. They have effectively stolen the ONE good aspect that Rift invented. Zone wide Massive Alliance Battles. And as an added bonus they took out the downside of that system being of course that in rift you have to group with the people to fight together.
