I am getting very frustrated about this myself. The problem I witness is that about 50% of raid creators call their raid SOO at Nazgrim or wherever they are, while having a fresh ID. The raid starts from a later boss but only people with a clear ID can queue. While the raids wont get full I am having trouble to join.

Is the lockout restriction created automaticly or do most raid creators do it by mistake? Anyway the way this feature is working out right now means nothing but frustration and I agree that the best thing to do would be to just to remove it.

Cheers
