This is probably a troll but going to address the point about the forums. The reason people said alliance raids weren't raids is specifically in response to the post and/or following posts leveraging something the devs said about raids (8man) to defend his stance on alliance raids (24man). People were just correcting him.

Furthermore regarding the rest, the PF his hardly "littered" with junk parties offering clears, art, etc. etc. at best there are a handful that the GMs can't really do anything about because they don't openly advertise RMT or account sharing. The vast majority of PFs (VAST) are still regular PF groups.

The rest of the post I don't really have any opinion on.

I'm probably person 34567890 to bring this up though. I shall take my leave.
