Basically the issue was that guilds who allied very frequently didn't share slots in the rotation except for Gorrnaire which no one cared about.
On VS and Trakanon and CT and Inny, most every guild occupied a solo slot on the rotation, and smaller guilds who were incapable of solo killing most of these mobs during the majority of hours in the day, were able to team up, only 1 guild drops to bottom of rotation and then team up again when the other guild was up top. This lead to a situation where two equally sized forces... Guild A + Guild B = Guild C in total characters at raids.... Had Guild A+Guild B alliance killing mobs twice as often as Guild C.
Not because the small guilds were superior in quality of characters or strategy, or because the larger guild was a Zerg. Simply because alliancing didn't drop you to the bottom of the rotation if you were allying when your slot wasn't up yet.
The rotation went through many iterations of dumbness. But the ending of it was quite equally dumb.
Edit: how is this not RNF yet???
