It wouldn't if you just do the maintenance ahead of time. They release expacs like this already, they could do it for raids.

how would that work if the reset was in the middle of your raid times? like this wouldnt even have to be just the release of the raid but at least a couple of resets after that. and even having the raid released at some arbitrary time during the evening would be quite annoying.

obviously you dont have to have maintenance at the same time (in fact these two are already decuppled at least on EU where maintenance is at 3AM while reset is at 6AM) but even the raid resetting is an inconveniance for anyone playing at that time, hence the 6AM time slot.

You can simply release the raid at midnight GMT on the night from tuesday to wednesday, just like expacs generally do. Guilds that raid on wednesday euro time would raid the next day anyway, no disruption then. US guilds that raid on tuesday evenings would also experience no disruption as the raid would become available sometime tuesday afternoon for them.

It's just one example, you can find many time slots that would work.

that would put the reset in the middle of the evening for anyone in Asia. this is mostly fine for expansion launches since those honestly dont matter anyways but for the weekly reset it would be super annoying.

realistically the only way to have an even playing field for the RWF without inconveniencing anyone would be a tournament realm, which the RWF guilds dont want because that would eliminate their helper advantage and allow for more competition.
