When all the fun of being anti-TMO and "sticking it to them" fades.. all I see is the implementation of the endangered species mob list actually in effect and the #2 guild taking the big stuff still.

That said, I'm very happy to see the new guilds getting targets appropriate for their progression. I would hope that will stay the same, I guess, whether TMO mains still need items from those mobs or not (??). TMO mains not meaning the "lifers" you dread on the RNF forums but their new applicants (yes they have them, and didn't dupe plat or ever share their account with someone who did) still needing things like BCG/White Dragon Cloak/dragon bags.

Repeating the point and where I don't see a solution that benefits everyone: Items like White Dragon Cloak/Tobrins/BCG are still needed by mains (TMO has new mains that join ...) I would think in every guild. Should applicants join one of the lower (no offense) guilds to wait their turn for these items before apping TMO? If so, should TMO be the "only need PD loot" guild? Kind of just turns the whole system into something where you graduate from one guild to the next and certain mobs are reserved for certain guilds. Doesn't make a ton of sense to me, but the normalized raid times would be GOOD for everyone's sanity even if it effectively means less mobs spawn every year.

From the economic perspective, less items flooding the server is a good thing even if it means people go without when trying to preserve a more classic economy. I'd like to see a report of how many RBBs/Cloak of Flames exist in the wild today... and how many at most it would be possible to drop on a server following a true classic timeline.
TMO is working on a raid system that is both "fair & balanced"
