If you want those pixels badly enough to out-TMO TMO then part of doing so involves a design to achieve results without being derailed and giving up because TMO's pull trained you regardless of whether it was intentional or purely due to bad pathing.

If you can't handle someone working the system to their advantage over you, become better. Maybe that means working a different angle. Maybe that means being more of an asshole. Maybe that means being capable of surviving that train and continuing on to your target.

Second place is the best loser. If you're in a guild that wants to do VP and you're complaining on the forums then you want your pixels but you don't want it badly enough to do what it takes to achieve that goal. Either give up or do better. Nothing will be solved by complaining about how little fun it is for you to not be good enough to do what you want to do.

Shit's classic.

That said, I come from emarr where Da`Kor/MS/MF started a rotation/calendar setup. I thought it was a good idea there, but p99 isn't emarr. There are far too many, "well FUCK them" posts from members of guilds on all sides of the argument. I doubt all parties would stick to the agreements. Furthermore, what settled it for me was when I heard someone from TMO state that a rotation would be worth considering if not for them having a scheduled wait for another guild to fail before TMO cleans up anyway.

This brings me right back to my original point: get better and stop complaining.
You're either ignorant to what is going on or just plain stupid. Can't decide which.
