Aegis does do NTOV crawls and folks have floated the idea about crawling in during a repop for some of the "lesser" dragons. Unfortunately, it will probably never happen because of the incredible amount of salt that would instantly flow from the pull-to-entrance guilds if we were in their way. And then we'd get trained. Remember when BG setup at the WToV entrance? Go read those threads if you were being serious in your suggestion. Our officers/members know that drama is the likely result of setting up and crawling during a repop and most do not want to deal with the whining about it. Most of my interactions with the big raiding guilds outside NToV suggest the same. The least appealing thing about NToV to me is the inevitable rule lawyering that it entails; if I had to identify what is keeping Aegis out of NToV, I’d point to the people who frequent it.

In addition to avoiding drama because guilds cannot play nice, the best part about a rotation would be that it allows for actual dungeon crawls. The fact that an NTOV crawl has happened once during the last two years (or maybe the history of the server?) shows that a crawl style of raiding is not a practical option in the coth + pull-to-entrance raid environment. Don’t you guys like a little foreplay?! Or maybe that’s not a concept you are familiar with (ouch).

P.S., rotation or not, the bigger guilds will still go at other targets full bore. See the recent 300+ people fear repops or the past few Sundays where AM has socked sev with us for the entire window. The same guilds are are at pretty much every Sev/CT/Golem/Kozzalym repop as well. AM kills gore within minutes of it spawning in the middle of the night. It's completely disingenuous to suggest that competition for other targets would somehow "get worse" if NToV was rotated. It is a totally empty threat. So in that regard, who cares?
