This two-hour thing is simply not going to work once TMO is back in the raid scene. This is what I was referring to in saying that I don't want anything to essentially be a rotation. I personally like the "combined TMO/FE/IB are only allowed to kill so many of a particular target consecutively" rule that someone suggested recently.
This is a little screwy too. I don't want to be penalized for significantly outperforming another competitive guild. Having a dominant month result in a forced week off while those who were dominated basically get free attempts is kind of bunk.
I think you'll have more luck with "1 out of X of every [target] is off-limits to anyone that has killed it before, for Y hours."
The "anyone that has killed it before" clause is what accounts for Tier 3 guilds. If it wasn't clear, I am against defaulting too much to BDA and Taken who already get a respectable number of kills. This rule could be further tweaked to account for guilds that killed something once and later are looking to get another unobstructed attempt, or third, fourth, fifth - whatever the provisions allow.
About a year ago I advocated having 1 out of 4 or 5 mobs be available for attempts by guilds that haven't killed it before. The idea was squashed by FE as they still needed gear for their members.
I really would like to see more people have the opportunity to step into the raiding world on p99. That barrier to entry lies at the Tier 3 guild level - a level where people likely need every possible player they can muster, plenty of time to prepare and get everything right, and possibly a second or third attempt.

I'm confused how this is different? It's still roughly 1 out of every 4 spawns which IBFE/TMO leaves alone. I think that anytime we are "picking" what gets left alone does pretty much nothing for the server. Also the first portion only implies a pseudo-rotation based on 2 guilds. FE/IB could split, BDA could step up, etc and it would be back to FTE fighting quite a bit.
Basically with my plan were not punished, we get some time to relax...it allows other people to engage with either no time limit or equal playing field wngages, and it turns PD into trak 2.0 and turns xygoz/SW into VS/CT
