Okay- I've read the first two pages of this tripe and it's the same story it has always been.
I understand the perspective of might makes right, but when the oldest guilds with good players will always have the advantage, does the thought ever occur to share game content?
Purely from a humanistic perspective: is it okay to always cockblock part of the game from the rest of the community because you can?
I'm seriously asking. I'm also looking for a different explanation than A) We can so we do B) Beat us if you want it.
How long does it take the top guilds' repeated clearings of these high-end targets before the members have what they want?
I'm not trying to bait anyone. I came from a rotation server where the top guild contained unimaginable pricks, but even they agreed to the rotation scheme after a while.
I'm trying to understand a side of the coin I've never been on. By the time I was in a hardcore raid guild in live, we were a good expansion behind in end game, so we didn't bump into this much.

How do you distribute limited amounts of resources among many groups/individuals vying for them?
Whoever is willing to do the most work to earn the resource should acquire it. That's what is at play here.
If people agree on a rotation - that's fine. But if they don't, it must be merit (and merit can mean merely how much someone is willing to poopsock for it) to be fair. People shouldn't be forced into a system of rotation (which amounts to a yielding of their freedom of action) if they would prefer to compete.
Alternatively, being in a system of merit is merely nature, or "how things are," so people aren't forced into that system by allowing that system to exist - it's just the way things inevitably are.
As resources become less limited (i.e. Kunark), the problem will dissipate rapidly.
