Say this came to fruition. You have a forced rotation. You have TMO splitting up into 4 guilds, FE into 2, BDA into 3...

Ok, so now TMO is getting 4 parts of a pie of 9 pieces. FE getting 2 of 9, and BDA 3 of 9.

All hypothetically of course, much assuming naturally.

But what's the big problem with that?

You have no superficial FTE rules being enforced. No GM intervention wondering who got the kill. No poop-socking required. Players can just log in and play the game for as long as they want on whichever characters they want, and just go to any given raid target when its their turn when it spawns.

Tell me the negatives, besides potentially getting less loot for a single guild.

Hell, some guilds might get MORE loot. TMO might even get more loot on a forced rotation system. I also added some ideas to the possibility of a rotation with some interesting rulesets. Even additional timer based rewards for guilds who are especially efficient. Please read that post.

Honestly, I see only positives with this. The only downside I really see (not saying there aren't some I do not see off of the top of my head right now) is that those who want to feel superior to everyone else because they "WON", can't feel that way anymore.

Boo hoo?
The problem with this, is that now you have legit guilds who have to wait months for their turn to come up on the rotation.

TMO would take a months worth, or more, then have to wait months for their slot/s to roll back around, same for every other guild.

Now TMO goes from raiding every week to raiding a few months a year.
