Anyways, IMO the server would be more fun if the rules were as simple as:
1) Rooted raid mobs, or a rule to fight targets only where they spawn. The current SB Idol meta is ridiculous and creates an environment where guilds are centered around a few key play makers rather than a full guild effort. Plus it creates unintentional training.
2) No training other guilds.
3) FTE determines kill, as it is now.

That's all. Get rid of the 2 tracker rule and everything else. I highly doubt any live server had enforced rules about camping near raid targets.
No, no classic server had any of this. For as much as some people like to screech about "not classic" when someone brings up rooting mobs there's nothing less classic than FTE messages and all the rules surrounding them.

I understand the how and why of getting to this point on the server. And back in classic there was round the clock volunteer guide service and each server had a paid GM. Those dudes were known to show up to a raid mob when people were being crybabies and make two guilds /ran 100 for the kill or outright despawn the damn thing on them.

I know things are different with time locked, being in Kunark for the better part of a decade, armies of geared 60 alts. But given the lack of available staff enforcement, it does seem like letting the raiding community figure shit out on their own more is possibly worth a try. Especially if, as this post suggests, they've kinda been doing it for a while now anyway.
