Once the time sink of competing for spawns (poopsocking) barrier to entry is removed there is basically no need for a guild larger than 30-40 players. Basically every guild that exists now would want to get into the rotation (rightfully so since they all can basically kill everything in the game if there is no competition to actually get the mob) and every top-end casual guild will want the entry process into the rotation to be as restrictive as possible and take as long as possible which would increase the chance that smaller guilds would actually try to circumvent the rotation and just try to snipe mobs against weaker links in the rotations, eventually causing it's dissolution.

On the other hand if the rotation was effortless to join the likelihood of the top end casual guilds no longer wanting to participate in the rotation greatly increases and them leaving guarantees the failure of the agreement.

And the constant battle between these two positions is where all the time and effort is devoted in the form of non-stop rule change propositions and dispute handling--not something solved by a 'spreadsheet or calendar.'
I acknowledge that I'm in the vast, vast, vast minority majority on this server who comes here for the nostalgia and not to try to be the best or get the most of something that really doesn't matter, so I see your point. It's just wishful thinking of mine that people really shouldn't care about this shit and share and play nice.
