Part of the problem is as soon as a teleport phase begins, those who are randomly teleported don't have a designated relic bearer. So, there's a bit of hesitation there that a raid group can't really afford. So that leaves one option; everyone goes after the relic, and who gets it gets it. Sure, it adds some variety for those who want it. But, it also introduces a potential problem. Those who are unfamiliar may be looked down upon in a raid setting, and may ultimately lead to inexperienced players not getting chosen to join a raid team. And if a raid group takes a chance on an unfamiliar player, they may suffer full team wipes that they otherwise wouldn't have, just because of the one inexperienced player. And now for a quote from OHBMAJORV: [i]So on one hand you say "matchmaking for raids won't work because you need a strong organized team to complete the raid" On the other hand you say "we're going to completely randomize the encounter so strategy is out the window"[/i] In other words, the final raid encounter is less structured teamwork, and more organized chaos. No bueno man, no bueno.
