So when one guild was zoning into a plane no other guild would zone zone in to compete.
Same with a mob spawned, if one raid force is ready to engage, no one would rush them, but would wait till they either kill or fail.
Ofc after a failed attempt they would talk to 1st raid force to check wether they would give it another shot or if the 2nd raid force could go for it. Otherwise its killstealing, period.
It was basically the rules setup by the dominating guild(s) on my server, Mith Marr.

This is what I remember as well, though I did not play on MM.

Spawn variance also encourages spawn camping and zerg guilds to sit 24/7 waiting for repop.. Please remove it, on live it was a set timer, so you don't "need" to camp, you come, if you are the first here you kill and if not you leave the place.
Just kick/port out/temp ban any guild that is camping an unspawned mob and won't see it anymore.
And please no rotation, if one guild is better than others at raiding then they deserve any kill, if others sit around semi afk or cant mobilize fast enough, then its too bad for them.

People will still "camp" a raid mob if it is due. While off topic, I believe it's appropriate to convey this story:
Guild A is waiting at the ice wall in Kael with 6 people. Statue is due up that night.
Guild B has been clearing the arena with a raid force for some time. They know Statue is due as well. As they have a raid gathered, they go and sit in Statue's room hoping to kill him.
Guild A calls leapfrogging. Guild B calls BS, as no mob was up.
Statue pops. Guild B kills Statue.
While Guild B does loot from Statue, Guild A zones in in full force and kills Idol. Guild A then gives B an ultimatum to pull AoW or they will.
Guild A then trains AoW onto guild B while they are doing loot, rezzing, etc.
Apologies again for the derail, but this is a valid problem that will come up once Kunark and SoV are up.
