The majority did not use a rotation. It was only like 2-3 servers. I dont remember which, but I think prexus may have been one of them.
But make no mistake about it, the over the top rediculous system we have here is the furthest from anything on any of the classic servers

I know Karana (my server) and The Rathe had rotations. They were completely player-made and player-enforced. The GMs were completely hands-off.
Now I didn't start playing on live until the very end of Kunark and did not really get into raiding until Velious, but I am pretty sure these 2 servers did not have rotations pre-Velious. Also, when they
did adopt the rotations they were only for Classic and Kunark content. No current-expansion content was rotated.
The rotations were divided into tiers with a "gatekeeper" (not Gorenaire though, that's just really silly). We even had hate/fear/sky zones on the rotation. The difference was that the upper guilds dropped off the lower tiers because they really didn't need drops from them anymore, and concentrated on the "better" mobs.
When the high end guilds showed up at the same FFA content, this happened:

- Whoever positioned/readied for pull first got first attempt.
- If they wiped, whoever zoned in second got a try.
- If they wiped also, back to first guild or third guild in waiting.

I don't remember training / FTE / KSing / stalling with a warrior and BP cleric / heckling / getting someone else's tracker killed or banished on purpose, etc. We treated each other with respect and that made the lower guilds look up to us and aspire to join, instead of ganking stuff out from under them and being complete assholes. We could have done that if we wanted to, in a heartbeat, but we felt that taking the high road was far better than pixels for a 7th alt.

The only problem with a system like this on P99 is the absence of adult / gentlemanly behavior.

This is exactly correct.
