If a majority of the server would prefer classic rules in VP, and the only people who oppose such changes are those who are favored by the current rules, why would the rules not be changed?

Furthermore, do you think that its fair that VP's rules favor one guild over any others? I mean, at this point its fair to say that no guild can compete with TMO in VP. This isn't due to the fact that TMO is better geared, has more players with VP keys, and has had more practice/experience in VP..its simply due to training. You take out training, and you instantly increase competition INSIDE of VP and outside as well. There really isn't an argument against this other than the GM's not wanting to deal with petitions, but there already are tons of petitions dealing with raiding outside of VP.


It seems though that the main problem on p99 raiding is the rules, and the enforcement of them fairly and equally.
The top part, you answered your own question.

second part, fair has nothing to do with it. Not once has any GM said the rules were made to be "fair". However, the fair you are talking about is relative. What fair is to you, may not be fair to another. Fair in the simplest form, however, is having the rules in VP apply to everyone equally, regardless, and in that regard VP is fair.

VP rules apply to everyone. The only reason they favor TMO is because a guild that was equal to them left. TMO was ahead of you then and they are ahead of you now. You're definition/view of fair is only to move the bar in your favor.

Do not mistake this as me wanting things one way or the other. Like you said, I don't play (raid) anymore. However, you going around implying that rules are in place simply for the advantage of a single guild is annoying, especially since it has been stated several times why the zone is the way it is.

There are tons of petitions outside where things are less hectic and you want to multiply that for GMs, yet you can't understand why they don't want to take on that work load.
