Weighted system caters to casuals. Flat point system caters to nobody. A real compromise. Due to mechanics.. tracking and batphones will exist. A council makes the system malleable. No system should cater to one side.
True, but I think it would be better for what rogean wants (more people raiding more targets more often, which is the 'everyone is happy' thing he is going for) if guilds have to pick what they engage each week. By default, if each week of raiding can only give a guild 2/3 of its current needs, then targets will change each week and raids can get different mobs.

This system currently lets the two top guilds keep every single valuable mob on lockdown for the entirety of the month before the points reset - which is kinda sorta just a little bit exactly what we have going on right now.
