Nilbog seems to not care as long as the quests work) have encouraged a competitive attitude here, and that attitude percolates down from the top until we have people being dicks in Mistmoore.
I suspect the vast majority of the server would prefer a GM enforced rotation, but perhaps the GMs feel its boring when you own an anthill and the ants don't go crazy in RNF.

We don't want to restrict the way people play the game. If everyone agreed a rotation was best, we would do that, but there are lots of different views on what's fun and what's not and we're going to allow for all of that to exist on p99.
I know that I definitely don't enjoy the drama that comes up in RnF. But thanks for implying that we have the raid rules set up like this simply for entertainment rather than to make sure that the hardcores and the casuals both have a place to play. Casuals make up a little over 2/3rds of the raid scene, with hardcores being a little less than a third. We're not going to alienate that other third just to appease 'the majority'.
