Lazie, I personally work to ensure the Rotation is upheld night and day and check it around the clock as the discussions rage but my guild does not. I commit myself to leading a more hardcore gaming life style so they do not have to. Every guild leader understands what I'm saying and is probably in the same boat. I personally never receive loot because there is not a whole lot outside of VP that I really need. But my guild of casual players are not at all the same and cannot devote the time I have to be more than casual.

I am sure several people work to uphold it bk...That isn't the point I was making. Your guild is a perfect example of a Class R guild. Solid members still needing to acquire gear and levels to progress. BDA is the definition of a Class C guild. Large roster of level 60s with the gear to compete and the numbers to track and batphone at most hours of the day. You could put an experienced raid leader and guild leader at the head of BDA right now and they would be a force on the server.
The leadership of BDA however would rather crowd the Class R spawn cycle and dilute the pool of mobs for the smaller less capable guilds simply because it's easy for them. They then come to the forums and paint misconceptions about Class C and make it sound like something it isn't in its current state. They do this so they can tell guilds like yours "See this is why we are Class R that over there is a shitshow"...Which it isn't 90% of the time.
Honestly raiding Class C is quite easy once you gain experience and have a good understanding of Everquest mechanics with the current mob windows. You spend maybe 2(sometimes 3) days a week actually being ready to raid with your characters. The rest of the time you don't even have to log into Everquest unless you want to. With a large roster(Especially the one the size of BDA) you have plenty of people to cover tracking the short windows these mobs have. Sure every now and again a train happens or someone KSes and it comes to RNF. Things like that happen every now and again when 2 guilds are racing for mobs. Most the time it is easily handled between the 2 parties involved with very little drama.
