Lastly, I dont get why AG would be upset with the rotation, it would benefit you guys, but I digress.
Don't want to get petitioned? Don't break the rules.

There's like 10 threads on why the rotation was a bad idea. Here's the Cliff's Notes:
  1. Rotations are boring
  2. There are over a dozen EQ servers already in existence that have rotations or instancing. If you want a rotation or instancing, play on one of those.
  3. There are a dozen MMOs that have instancing. You could play on one of those.
  4. Rotating TOV allows Aftermath to focus 100% on all the other zones. You would get approximately zero targets outside of TOV with the proposed rotation.
  5. No one wants to wait a minimum of 9 weeks between TOV attempts.
  6. Some of us worked hard to get where we are. A rotation would negate that work.
  7. The ruleset as described by Braknar would mean if an earthquake happens during your week, too bad, you get skipped.
  8. The ruleset as described by Braknar would mean you could kill your dragons at the end of your week and cause the next guild to lose out on approximately 50% of their dragons due to spawn variance.

The only way the proposed rotation would benefit AG is if you look at it purely from a 'do I get more free Vulak and Doze pixels?' standpoint. If you take any of the above into consideration, it doesn't benefit us at all. The only people it benefits are people who kill an average of zero raid targets in ALL zones each week and who just want things handed to them.

Want your fair share of loot but you don't want to deal with trains in ToV? You want trains banned.

Want free loot without having to work for it? You want a rotation / instancing.
