The fact that this is how it is is exactly why the roll format is shit. What I've been saying all along.

Here's the thing: there's the server we want, and the server we have. If I phrased a poll the right way I'm willing to bet 10k plat I could get a majority to say that they (like me) want a server that goes to PoP ... but it wouldn't matter, because the devs will never even go to Luclin.
Same deal here: many people want a fair GM-enforced mechanism that prioritizes the people who most deserve the spawn to get it. That's a great idea, and I fully support the spirit in which my awesome guild mate Glitter proposed it ... but it can't happen because the staff won't go for it (if only because they are 100% volunteers and are busy enough without having to add more work for themselves).
Because of this, any agreement whatsoever has to be opt-in: whether we like it or not that's how this server works. This is why even the roll agreement is tentative: if assholes (not naming any names) don't agree and want to have a click-fight, they can.
However, as I pointed out in the other thread, there's one other piece here, and that's the fact that the players involved also "opt-in" to helping whoever wins the roll with their fight. Now if that player isn't doing the fight for themselves, all those other players may not want to help them, and they have a 100% legitimate right not to do so.
TLDR: Here's what I suggest. Leave the roll itself as is, not necessarily because it's what anyone wants, but because we can all agree that it's better than a click fest (and we can't agree on anything else). But when it comes time to fight after, everyone helping should demand that the roll winner say who they're doing it for. If they lie and people help them they've violated the server rule on defrauding. But if they are doing it for themselves they get to see the great spirit of this server with free help from kind people.
I'm not saying it's the best possible option, but it seems like the best possible option
for our server, with it's limits.
