Your moronic ramblings doesn't change what the problems were. It wasn't TMO. It was the variance. TMO/FE/IB were the only guilds that would sit through that variance tracking before the changes on mobs across the board. The cock block was never one guild outside of VP. It was the spawn timers that other guilds wouldn't commit to sit through. IF guilds had simply pushed for more repops and a reduced variance they would have came out better than the current system.

To me it sounds again that your various arguments depend on guilds getting the random sim-repop mobs in the window TMO/IB is tied up in VP (correct me if I'm wrong). I don't think you see that Class R guilds and players don't want to be on-call 24/7 until some sim-repop happens and batphone / wake up people in the middle of the night to try to get 10 mobs from TMO in the specific and limited time interval during which they could compete successfully.
I'd imagine that ideally, class R guilds would prefer to have mob pops known well in advance, and have the opportunity to kill them at their own time rather than at the time indicated by sim-repops. If I remember correctly, when I was on the Rathe server on live, we had player-made rotations on everything, and those rotations gave guilds I think a shot to down their rotation mob during their peak play time, not within 2 hours of a random repop while the top guild was busy with the top content. This made playing EQ a lot more manageable for people who don't want to make it their life. You can plan ahead of time which days and times to be on and have a relatively small guild with players that may only play a few hours a week still be able to down mobs by focusing their force during the expected pop of their rotations.
I think it's absolutely absurd right now that even class R guilds have to track their rotation mobs and have a limited window to kill them, which often may not fall during their normal play times, causing players to have to do things like batphone in the middle of the night, to get up from bed, log in, and kill a 15 year old dragon. It baffles me that players and GMs haven't come together in agreement on making this not be the norm on the server for most guilds, especially those in class R.
