Just a thought/request -
Lift the per-hour instance/raid lockout. Or, at least during the collector’s event. It’s vestigal and should just be eliminated, at this point it feels like a “Fun Detected” issue. Some of us just want to slam through instances on our eleventybeelion alts we made during Remix 
My current gameplan is to have some chars running through instances, then when the lockout approaches, swap to raids like DS to run the timer down.
But seriously please consider just doing away with the lockout system entirely. How would it possibly be abused and break the game? Y’all already obliterated gold farms. If it’s a concern for selling raid clears, just have it be on the current expansion and release the historical base/expansions from it.

So so true. What’s the point of a collectors event if you can’t run the dungeons bc you keep getting the you have entered to many dunguens.
Completely outdated rule, lift the locks!

I’m down with this idea. Destroy lockouts!!!
The lockout exists because of bots.
That said, I honestly think the game has moved forward to a place where there’s just not much gain to be had from a bot farming, you know, Botanica 24 times an hour, and even if there was, is it really that big of a deal that they can’t do it 24 times but they CAN do it 10 times? They’re still doing it either way apparently.
(There are also ways around the timeout but I don’t know if bots are programmed to do that or if they’re even aware, it gets talked about in twink circles occasionally).
If necessary, maybe follow legacy raid buff rules. Keep the timeout in place if it’s within the last 2 expansions. Eliminate it for anything older than that. (I know they are unreliable with turning on the legacy buff in raids, but just as a general rule, they originally stated 2 expansions was the mark).
Or, hell, if they feel the need to keep the 10/hr limit in place, change how the rare loot from dungeons works, similar to how they have been changing Holiday Mount chances. Rivendare’s Mount and other similar items now only have 1 chance per day per account. But the chance is significantly higher to compensate for not being able to spam it 10 times an hour. Now there’s no need to spam this low level stuff you blaze through in 3 minutes long enough to hit the instance limit.
(Well, sans twinks farming gear but that’s never going to be a supported playstyle beyond allowing players to turn xp off)
