The opposition to your argument has recently begun to quote him for support. I guess if you're going to have to argue the opposite "socialist" argument, you need to speak to the points they use for support.
Trust me, I'm not saying TMO needs to be the only guild getting every single mob. After this recent blow out, they should share. IMO the top guild is in a position of earned privilage and needs to be responsible in many ways for assuring a fair/fun to play in community. I also think when things are worked out that time is given to take the mobs during "normal play hours". This 4am shit is unhealthy for all of you, and do realize that repop days have more players than just the top guild on trying to take things.
IT WOULD HELP if when TMO or FE/IB decides to hand down one of their mobs (Vox/Naggy/Draco/CT/Inny) that the community doesn't take it as some kind of condescending charity and respond with disrespect and outrage.
Goals for TMO: Share old content
Goals for community: Understand you don't put in as much time (read: don't respond to 4am bat phones). Understand there is limited content. Understand that Velious (which brings mobs most guilds can't kill) would help a lot more for 5 guilds fighting over the same content.
I think TMO would be happy to spend its time banging its head on NTOV progression/farming armor (presuming those mobs are not steam rolled) while the rest killed Vindi, Statue and every single old world mob.
I don't know if the people on the other side of the argument are capable of understanding this is a problem of limited content and the top guild trying to secure best in slot gear it still needs. When the best in slot gear moves to harder targets, the easier ones open up.
Saying "fuck the top guild this sucks" is way easier I guess than contributing to the bugs section/Velious content and actually accepting this concept.

TMO has tried to give away or open up content for years... See Endangered dragon lists and further attempts beyond that. The problem is without our direct competition FE/IB or VD back in the day also not killing those mobs, all opening up those mobs did is directly assist our competition, and the little guys still didn't get shit.
TMO doesn't want to give mobs to FE/IB, TMO (imo) would like to give raid mobs to other guilds like Div/BDA/AG/Doljon/Knights/Taken/etc/etc/etc.
I don't speak as an officer or anything but I am fairly sure TMO would be all for allowing some mobs to be on a "not kill" list if FE/IB would agree to this.
