I think we've learned what competitive raiding is just fine.
6 FFA targets last week - Sev, Fay, VS, Draco, Maestro, Inny
Taken got VS, Fay and Maestro
IB got Sev and Draco
TMO got Inny
What you fail to understand is our guild isn't made up of exclusively the neckbeards that got those VS, Fay, Maestro kills. Hell I was asleep during all three of them. (Or maybe I was at work for Maestro I forget) There are plenty like myself whom don't want to stare at a wall or are at work and cannot log on or who like sleeping.
For people like myself (a good chunk of our guild) - it is nice there is the opportunity to pseudo plan when we will be able to go for a mob, go for the mob and allow people to log on and make their way there. That's the only way these types of people will see a mob like Venril Sathir. He dies <2min after he spawns during FFA cycles. Whereas in Class R we can allow a solid 30min-1hour to let everyone show up who wishes to participate. Which is the goal of class R, letting everyone experience content
As long as 16-hour variance remains I guarantee no guilds will purposefully move up. You get rid of 16-hour variance and you will see guilds move up eventually.
The issue with it currently is it allows smaller guilds to bypass the typical rotation by pairing up during their "alliance12hourperiod", then pair up again in a month and kill the same mob. When a guild who killed the mob solo at any hour would have to wait another 6 months before they can kill it again.
Small guild A can bring 25 people to Trakanon
Small guild B can bring 15 people to Trakanon
Each guild gets a BP, and some teeth and perhaps spell and a shot at guts.
This pair kills Trakanon twice through a full rotation cycle because Guild B is in slot #3 when Guild A is in slot #1 and it spawns in their window of allying.
BDA brings 40 people to Trakanon
They get 2 BPs all the teeth/spells and a shot at guts.
This guild kills Trakanon once through a full rotation. Because that's how rotations work, you get it and you drop to the bottom until everyone else gets it.
