Exactly!
The server's guilds did not arrive at the status quo out of a vacuum. Things progressed to where they are because of how the rules/repops/variance and other factors were set... by the server staff.
The staff's stance here, with all due respect, doesn't make much sense.
You've got a situation where nobody can get all the loot they want, and Rogean is saying something along the lines of "make an agreement to share the toys or we'll release velious with no toys for anyone."
So, of course, eveybody's only setting forth agreement terms that benefit themselves.
And the only solution set forth so far that effectively means more loot to go around for everyone... is the one the staff won't do!
Loraen has some very valid, non-troll points. I'm not saying a weekly repop would solve all problems, but it's the only solution that, at the bottom line, reduces pressure on everyone to relentlessly compete for every target. No enforcement or windows or points or what-have-you necessary. And let's not forget that weekly repops are both classic and really, really FUN!
Think about it for a minute. TMO/IB/FE would have an easier time letting go of targets like Sev/Tal/Gore/Naggy if there were 4 extra pops a month. TMO/IB/FE would have less motivation to slaughter each other for pixels in VP if there were 4 more rounds of pops a month. A-Team would have more chances at what they want - targets without tracking/batphones - if there were 4 more rounds of pops a month. BDA and AG and Lord Bob and Taken would have more chances to progress as they please if there were 4 more rounds of pops a month.
And if anyone decides to play dickbags with training and shenanigans: suspend them! Suspensions hurt more when there are 4 more rounds of pops a month!
That can only be a step in the right direction. And it doesn't look like a hard step to take at all... so why on earth is it not on the table?

You getting into semantics now. Don't you really mean to say TMO/FE/IB would love killing 4x as many vp mobs each month. Let us get realistic, TMO could have ended this 2 years ago when they were crowned king of raiders and IB left server for mac. They then at that time could have turned to the server and said we will sit out 1 week of every month to let the rest of the server raid uncontested by us on every raid mob, and we hope the other 3 weeks you will compete with us and show up competition. But instead they took every single raid mob they could, and this is the result. If they had been just a little sharing, it never would have came to this, and now that its on the table people are going to overpush for all the mobs they feel they have been deprived. BUT, I will not lay all the blaim on TMO, because this server could have PUT IN EFFORT and fought back, but they laid down and died and cried. Now all that being said everyone do yourselves and the server a favor.
Start of simple and build it slowly and smartly. Why do people think this has to be set in stone immediately. Work on it. Try out different things. Work WITH the big guilds. Make tweaks, modify things, BUT DO NOT try to overstretch it right of the bat. Be smart. Don't test how much weight the boat will hold before sinking right away.
