So what? People can "lawyer" all they want, but this server is not a democracy, it's a dictatorship. If Rogean implements rotations, part of doing that would be establishing a system to answer your questions, including settling when people leave the rotation.
And if he's smart, he could even setup the system in a way that makes players police each other so the staff has less work to do. For instance, he could make it so that to drop a guild from the rotation a player from another guild has to fraps them failing on gatekeeper mob X twice. Or he could say that whoever gets ToV this week has to send a representative to observe new guild Y that is trying to kill gatekeeper mob X for the first time so they can get into the rotation.
Instead of a system designed to pit everyone against each other, the staff could implement a system where the players have to work with each other (don't send the observer for the new guild's gatekeeper fight? your guild loses its next ToV week). And again, such a system strikes me as massively better for the server and most players (ie. not just the top guilds, and not just the RnF-dwellers).

There are a lot of potential issues in setting up a rotation, I only mentioned a few. Sure it's nice to be able to just push that off on the staff and say "hey you figure this out" But It's not a good defense on your position on the issue. If you can't think of simple ways to deal with them then idk why the staff would or should either.
No matter what you do some people are not going to be able to see all the raid content they want to see. You are going to have to create a strict set of rules about how to stay or get on the rotation, and some people will fail. So instead of being able to team with a few other guilds and get some kills they just need to wait until they can reapply to the rotation? SOMEONE has to figure out how long they're locked out and when they can reapply...even if its not you. And you are kidding yourself if you think these decisions wouldn't come, at some level, from other players. What do you expect the staff to observe every guilds raids and make sure they meet every requirement? No, other guilds will be watching and reporting what's going on to the staff. You'll have the same frapsing bullshit you have now, except the result will likely be a complete lockout from the content when the neckbeards win.
