I think it would be infinitely better player experience if we could have only rewards for first boss kill in week, like on retail.
So after reset you can find a group, do icc and kill 4/12 bosses and get frost/loot for 4 bosses, after party disbands (for what ever reason) you can find another party that's maybe starting fresh and kill 7/12 bosses but you would only get reward for ones you haven't already killed.
There would be more players queueing to do raids, it gets frustrating having to assemble party for raiding for about 1.5h and then raid for 2-4 hours, it's very time consuming.

Suggestion: Boss based id's instead of instance based id's for raids.

Suggested and denied.
It would only result in chaotic cluster**** of players joining and leaving.
Raiding is time consuming, and it was never meant to be in and out in 5 minutes.
Find/join a guild if you want more reliable raids.

There might be more leaves but you could assemble raid in no time because people can do it over and over again. It's pretty tiring to assemble raids friday and saturday night when there's no tanks and healers.
Guilds are not really solution because YOU MUST BE ONLINE AT THAT TIME AND FOR THE NEXT 3-4 HOURS. If i have 2 hours I wanna go do icc and then later on in the week continue. There is reason why they have it on retail like that.

And there's a reason why it worked for over 15 years here.
Just because you want special treatment you ask to change the entire system. Solid foundation.
Go play retail then if it suits you better.

It doesn't work. Go assemble raid friday night, you have to spend 1hour to assemble raid + 2-3 to actually raid with afk/leavers.
I go on my ppala and finish icc25 and never join for the whole week, if I had opportunity I would join couple times a week which is better for player experience. It opens up more heal/tanks.
Most of players have actual life like kids and chores. Sitting for 3-5 hours uninterrupted is only possible for no life ******s.

Sounds reasonable.

You're not gonna get loot anyway if you only have 2 hours. With a fresh raid, most loot you'd get is LM and LDW loots, with some luck, maybe even gunship battle loot too. The loot is often used as bargaining chip to keep people raiding and rolled on their last 15-30 mins of the two hour trade window.
It's called commitment and arranging IRL stuff around it if necessary.
