If Taken petitioned TMO for violating a clearly stated raid policy, then the responsibility for adjudicating the decision rests with the GMs who have more tools at their disposal to judge the validity of the petition than a grab bag of C and R guilds with various levels of asymmetric information.
Presumably, said GMs will also decide on whether enough evidence has been presented or the defense is adequate, and I would think any punishment would also be tailored to whether a guild had sufficient raid experience to know better or not. For example, a hapless new guild to the server might inadvertently break the rules and be granted leniency, as opposed to a more experienced guild with a robust working knowledge of the existing rules and one working to foster a better raiding environment.
Again, thank-you, Staff and Devs for P99.
