I want to say this and it isn't targeting anyone or any idea.
The GMs have already made the first change towards improving the raid scene when they removed the No GM intervention in VP and banned future intentional training in VP. With this and the fact that intentional training is banned everywhere else how about working around that for a basis of competition.
BDA, A-Team, Europa, Taken, IB/FE(even separate if they want), TMO, and any other guild that wants a shot can attempt it all they have to do is clear around the dragon or pull the dragon to their raid. If they engage first the new PnP by its very nature should prevent any interference. You get your shot you fail and the next guild there ready gets a shot. Now you need to iron out how long you have to prep prior to engaging. This is an example for VP but every zone should work that way. If you are worried about alt armies then go and level your own alts and park them there or have your members camp there. You can find out when its in window and every guild can have trackers there.
Just a suggestion you talk about how toxic things are then make an effort to better yourself and improve them in the process. That way any guild that wants to raid can compete without underhanded interference but the alts thing isn't going away.
If you really want a chance to compete in VP maybe work it out to where you can get trak tooth from another guild or work out trades or something for epic loots/ etc. Or make alliances that raid and work out how the teeth are handled. Get enough people to try the dragons whether it is 10 or 25+ and then go in and fight for it.
Your complaining about attrition through numbers that's not TMO or IB/FE fault that they have the characters/alts to compete.

Translation:
In order to move forward, all guilds should adopt the raiding strategies that sent the raid scene spiralling down the toilet in the first place.
Currently, the only avenue that a guild must take in order to see a raid boss is to track through excessive spawn windows and have an army camped nearby.
It has been determined by GMs and a majority of raiders that this should not be the only avenue for seeing a raid target.
So other avenues must be considered.
Splitting each month into a 50% rotation/50% FFA seems like a popular option for a lot of people, though it's still considered to be charity by those who are willing to spend their lives tracking it in a FFA setting.
What if the Rotation in the first 15-days of the month only offered each guild a 20-minute grace period before going into FFA, rather than 8 hours (which IMO is excessive).
That way, guilds aren't taking all of their rotation mobs for granted. They still have to track and mobilise as fast as usual, but they just have 20 minutes of no interruptions in order to get to their raid boss.
If they wipe or fail to engage within 20 minutes, their mob becomes FFA.
