And the 10% of the times mean monthly guilds aren't able to kill a mob they are on rotation for. So they get assistance, and then in a few weeks they are able to assist that guild for a second kill.

Again, that doesn't happen. People don't team up for mobs and then have an implicit agreement to team up on the other guilds kill (It makes no sense for the aiding guild to oblige to this).

It is also important to remember what precipitated the necessity for 12-hour alliance windows. When guilds would have blackout hours they would refuse to track or try to kill, mobs but at the same time they would refuse to drop down to the bottom of the rotation after failing to kill their Class R mob.

The blackouts were and still are completely retarded.

It did used to be worse. But it can still get better. Simply saying you kill a mob and get a lockout, you drop to bottom of rotation. That's all that needs to be said to improve the rotation. Covers guilds allying together, and the big-bad taken (who you appear to have a Pie-Chart-Hardon for) sniping Class R mobs after they go FFA.

Sure but neither side is ever really willing to compromise without a half day vent-summit where everyone screams at one another until theres 4 people left standing to hammer out a deal. Each vent summit is preceded by the exact scenario that is playing out now. Taken/Div/BDA want new rules, and threaten to go rogue if they aren't implemented.
Taken/Div/BDA feel they don't really need to compromise because they think they have all the leverage because if they leave the rotation they will get every 1/3 R mob.
Everyone else feels that they have all the leverage because they are 7/10 of the guilds in the rotation and control a clear super majority.
Nothing ever really happens in FAP without it going completely nuclear, because there is no system in place to actually implement new rules or policies. It's just one side screaming at the other on FAP until they get on vent to scream at each other until there are new rules.
Also, anyone who has ever had to deal with Taken on FAP shares the disdain I have for them.
