Rotations = Not classic and probably against Rogean / Nilbog's wishes. We've done this before and it elicits more bad behavior. (figuring out how to cheat to shave miliseconds)
It turns this server into another non-competitive server just like all the rest and loses its appeal.
Unroot Mobs = Back to the era of FTE / train to zone in. Log in to see if your guild received FTE, if not log out. If you received FTE, kill, log out. How dull and boring that era was and back to complaints about never killing flurries. This lessens interaction between people and anything that decreases interaction is bad. (port stones, bazaar, instancing, etc.)
Petitionquest is an effect of a perceived violation of the PNP and Raid rules, therefore it's not the root of the problem. The bad and progressively bad behavior without significant repercussions to deter such behavior is the actual root of the problem. Increase the severity of infractions and the vast majority of this goes away.
Lack of enforcement by GM's has only encouraged bad behavior and allowed it to prosper. In my opinion, GM's should automate this process as much as possible and only have to deal with clarifications of the rules if requested. A guild shouldn't thrive on "frapse or it didn't happen", you're an adult and know if you did right or wrong 90% of the time.
Simply put, GM's need to have a conference with Rogean and Nilbog and figure out which direction THEY wish to go in. Someone has already mentioned that this Classic experience was not designed to handle this amount of traffic. I think everyone here knows that the GM's are not equipped with complete autonomy to make the changes as they see fit, and until they receive guidance from Rog/Nilb, their hands are tied and limited as to what they can actually implement.
We need to hear from Rogean and/or Nilbog, then we can choose a path forward.
Thanks
