The idea to split the server into casual/hardcore or rotation/FFA wouldn't be a "split". A huge portion of the server would move -- including those who currently aren't in raiding guilds.
We'd end up with the current box being low pop (except during repops) and the new box would eventually have 327 raiding guilds rotating and seeing VS once per generation. Velious' eminent release somewhat alleviates this concern as there are some mobs that the 20 casual raiding guilds yet to be formed wouldn't have the chops to kill anytime in the foreseeable future, but there would still be a problem unless there was some sort of qualification or restriction as to who could move.
If there is a problem that needs to be solved, I think it should focus on giving casual raiding guilds more opportunity at Kunark mobs once Velious comes out. That opportunity should include some forced competition between the "R" guilds and it should come at a price that restricts a significant amount of Velious content as "incentive" to get a couple (literally) of the "R" guilds to move on from Kunark content and start competing in Velious.
