The reason for the layer of protection in VP is to counter the layer of protection afforded to class R guilds when the class system was created. To make implementation of he class system equitable for all parties, there was give and take on both sides. Class C gave up mobs outside VP (because prior to the system all mobs were essentially class C) and in return they got the caveat that top tier content remained class C. I personally haven't heard class C people trying to alter the deal that was made, yet it seems every week there is a new post by someone in class R trying to have their cake and eat it too.

This is why I suggested making raid boss spawns a Scheduled Earthquake (in other words all bosses will ONLY spawn on an earthquake <all at the same time> and everyone knows when the earthquake will occur allowing proper preparation.
This will also provide the opportunity to advance and still keep the spirit of competition because you can contest whatever spawns you want and there will still be a race.
Note: some additional small rules can be added to make things run more smoothly such as no guilds can be INSIDE (or camped inside) the zone with the raid boss when the earthquake occurs, and you can only attempt 1 boss at a time as a guild, etc...

If you want to raid end game content, you have to leave the loving protection class R affords you, it is really as simple as that. It isn't about whether class C could handle the competition, more that they negotiated this agreement in good faith, and expect it to be honored, just as you expect them to honor your classes rotation. If you want to remove protections afforded to guilds, I'm sure class C would be happy to go back to the way it was, with no class system or bag limits, but to continually try to alter the agreement in your favor when class C has continued to honor their's indicates to me that class C isn't the real problem.

My suggestion (noted above) will also remove the necessity of having a rotation and any "protection" that is currently provided to C and R class guilds. Having scheduled simulated repops would also prevent any one guild from receiving more than their fair share of mobs as one guild cannot be everywhere at the same time.
