I agree there is certainly something about the grand scale of alliance raid dungeons that would be cool to see in the regular raids. However, I have never in all of my many years of raiding found myself fighting trash mobs and thought "wow I'm having so much fun fighting this trash right now." Even in the older 8-man raids in this game that have trash before the boss I feel more annoyed than anything. While I don't totally disagree with you I personally don't have much desire to see that design brought back.
which is fair, since this the whole reason why Normal raids and even Alliance raids to an extent dont follow this design, since a lot of people didnt like it in WoW. People nowadays value their time much more than decades earlier with gaming but ever since I started looking back at other MMOs, I feel like we've also sort of lost a bit of that "spectacle" with doing content with other players that felt very big in a sense.
