A proposal centered around getting rid of alliances completely probably would have passed had they not tried to tie it to a tier system that demanded guilds solo kill Gore to be allowed to solo kill vs, ct, and trak. Under that proposal if a guild sharing a rotation slot with another guild on Gore (for instance Omni/Indignation/A-Team share a Gore slot) they would be tied to those guilds on VS CT and Trak as well, even though those three mobs are considerably easier than Gore (I don't think there has ever been an instance of a guild not solo killing VS, and I doubt there's ever been more than two instances for CT).
In the Teir system they proposed months ago when GT and MC were attempting to enter the rotation Gore was the last mob to get access for and there was mostly a consensus on that point.

I won't defend the tiering system. It's dumb and clearly a grab attempt at getting more pixels. Requiring VS be rotated with the same rotation as Gore is dumb.
But I do thing that there is a shread of truth to the reason that there are two rotation slots on Gore with three guilds is because his loot is so terrible. If Gore dropped better gear (or epic pieces beyond a bard scale / pally book) you would see more 2-guild rotation slots or maybe some single slots. Cause I'm sure some of those guilds can solo kill an R Gore, or atleast two of them can handily. But they have no qualms sharing a rotation slot because splitting two McVaxius Horns isn't a big deal. If Trakanon's loot was worse you'd see more guilds sharing rotation slots on him. For example. But because he has several BIS BPs (including Donals) and Trak Guts, as well as Trak Teeth you can sell the MQs to and fund months of port stones/recharges -- guilds will occupy single rotation slots even though during a solid chunk of the day there is no way they can kill him by themselves.
So the pixel lust does go both ways IMO.
