Imagine you played WoW back in the day when raiding was cool. Now imagine you were good enough to kill Illidan, but the Glaives just aren't dropping for you, nor the shield.
Now picture that in the middle of that content instead of a 7 day raid lock, the server was hotfixed and you now have a two month raid lock out.
I don't raid on this server but I'd be pretty fucking pissed if that happened to me back in the day. I'll agree that the nature of it was pure greed that brought this about. I feel there are better approaches to this, 3 guilds are allowed in ToV this week, three the next week, three the next. Obviously divide the guilds based on level of shit socking capabilities (Because really nothing about EQ raiding is mechanically hard). This could have been divided up a lot of ways, but I feel the way it was approached was more of a punishment than a compromise.
