Rotations can work, but they generally work best as agreements between guilds for cutting edge content. Rotations can also work for very common content that will predictably be available (such as Sky), but mixing heavily contested content with the server at large leads to that bloat.

Additionally, it is my observation that many people who argue for rotations tend to view them as morally or ethically superior. That somehow those who prefer competition are entirely selfish and that they continually commit moral trespass. Certainly, it is commendable to share content, but it is not morally obligatory. At best, an argument can be made that rotations are equally as valid as power guilds dominating content. There are certainly issues with raiding on this server, but they stem from the rules and not the player's themselves.

The best thing one can do to change raiding is to challenge the rules and not the players who operate within those rules. Semi-random repops and/or the CSR normalization of VP appear to be the most viable/favored solutions.



Translation: "Anyone who disagrees with me is an apathetic sociopath fueled by greed."

You can't expect the other people here to fairly weigh your points while simultaneously throwing this kind of stuff around. You generally carry your thoughts well enough. You're better than that.
I'm not. Fuck that guy.
