If that's what R- really thought, they wouldn't have had issue sharing a raid slot with other like-minded guilds to down content they couldn't do on their own normally.

The R+ guilds thought of R as a training ground for C. They wanted to practice the encounters without chain failing vs TMO/IB and then move up to C, so they were against a rotation in the first place. Oh wait, that's not what happened at all. The R+ guilds just wanted maximum free pixels.
Except for the part where the rotation was R+'s idea in the first place and wouldn't have happened at all if they weren't on board with it from the start.

Basically the problem with the R/C system was that Rogean just assumed that successful R guilds would move to C so they could do the C content, but due to the lockout system it was impossible for a successful R guild to get enough Trak teeth to compete in VP (Trakanon being one of the toughest encounters to get right, so the FFA ones were very hard), so there was no carrot to go against IB/TMO (1/9 Trakanons = 3 teeth per month, so 1-2 years to get a reasonable number of keys).
3 Trak teeth a month is a pretty big bottle neck for sure.
