I'm not sure "commenting" on specific points of this agreement is worthwhile at all at this point. It seems to me that what was said about two factions existing is indeed the case. This proposal is unlikely to fly with the Cat B guilds without more radical change.
1) Enforcement is Key - not just enforcement of what mobs are available to who, but enforcement of training, ninja-looting, other dirty tricks. Requiring a 5 out of 6 super-majority pretty much eliminates any chance of enforcement. Competing with TMO/IB/FE is not the problem - putting up with their dirty tricks IS. Cat B guilds will still want to compete all month long and if we're getting intentionally trained, then we need the power to raid suspend, suspend toons, and even perma-ban people. There needs to be some radical change to this area.
2) The Cat A guilds need to give significantly more. Cat B guilds are not looking for anything for free, but saying you can have a handful of mobs one week a month (during which week the mob might never spawn) is completely and totally insufficient.
3) There is nothing in here about what happens when Velious comes out.
There are other proposals out there, and there will have to be compromise. Getting this done by the 2nd is highly unlikely. That's ok, we can all live without raid targets for a few days in order to achieve an agreement that will have more long-lasting benefits to everyone.
