Fake Raid / Party

[Elendhriel]

Hi, I am looking for a way to create a fake Raid or Party for design purposes. So that I am able to verify my lua changes without actually having to find a raid or a party. Is that somehow possible ? Thanks.

Going to Alterac gives you a chance to have a raid ;p

I always as a guildy for assistance, group up, make him leader, then log off/on to a bunch of alts (usually three), get them invited to the group, log back on main, thank guildy and happily test my settings with 3 other characters to play around with. If I need more chars, I repeat the process. Takes 2 minutes at max of your and a friends time.
