Well we brought this issue up when you guys were talking about how to settle the first IB and Trans issues. A rotation meant that the upcoming guilds would not only have a hard time breaking in, but they would be punished for attempting. Now a lot of guilds will soon want in on all the raid mobs, not sure how you are going to do this. I will tell you this though, on my server we had a rotation, it was set up pretty early too. So saying ROTATION isn't CLASSIC doesn't really matter, this isn't Classic, although we attempt to make as much classic as we can. This is a new experience although we are trying to solve the same player problems from 10 years ago. The GM's wanted to not be involved, but I just don't think that's possible. Consdering the GM's are also in the raid guilds.
A Rotation can work, everyone just has to be fair and balanced, new content will be out soon.
I did have a good idea though. Have the new guilds that think they are capable to join the rotation, once they take down a raid mob, they are in until they cannot take down raid mobs again (Guild split or leaders leave, whatever reason). Once new content comes out, it should be FFA for the first few weeks, you guys could settle on a time frame, 2 weeks a month, whatever. Then it gets put into the rotation along with the other older mobs. The new content would be the old Verant rules, first to come and engage with a raid force gets the mob. Now this doesn't mean you can kite the mob around (if it is kitable) until your raid gets there, which I have seen done.
Just trying to think of something to keep as many people as we can.
