I like the idea Hasbin, but it's too much structure. GMs will have to police it and there is a lot of potential for things to go wrong. For example, those who are better geared have a better chance at winning. I can see problems happening when newer guilds want to enter but will have less chance against those awesome IB guys

Personally, if we were to do a drafting type of system, I think a simple /random 0 100 would work out much better. It is quick and easy and doesn't require a weekly event where potential zone crashes, GM policing, etc. will have to happen.
We all know the garbage that goes on the forums for a PvP server and that is exactly what will happen with this. IB cheated because blah blah blah. Trans buffed one of their guys, blah blah blah. Divinity has no chance for first pick because Dartagnan rocks, blah blah blah.
However, I think a big point should be made that can help out with a lot of things is this,
regardless of whatever system we choose, if your guild wipes out on an encounter legitimately (ddos attacks, lag, etc. don't count), the next pick gets to attempt. I feel that this is a fair compromise because it does reward organization and effort.
Would the rest of you agree? I think that is only fair. It will allow guilds to have a chance, but also add a level of competition.
I am more than willing to do Hasbin's idea if this was the case, or if we were to do a rotation based on /random.
I think this is a good idea all and we are closer to having a comprise.
