Gotta hand it to Loraen, he's pretty much dead on. This is the best thread out of all the ones on the subject, and believe me, I lurk quite a bit.
I have been wondering how Rogean honestly expects a collection of self-interested guilds to work out a solution. None of them will offer anything that doesn't benefit themselves, my own guild obviously included.
You have a bunch of self-interested entities that have evolved into the current status quo based on selectional pressures (server rules, limited mobs).
If you want the status quo to change, you remove or lessen the selectional pressures. You don't ask the lions and tigers and hyenas to get along. You take them out of the jungle and put them somewhere that has more food.
Also, all of these discussions have assumed that TMO & IB/FE will remain the only players in the hardcore raid scene. I've seen a awful lot of <Lord Bob> tags recently, and I don't think they're just interested in sky.
