There are 2 main reasons why rotations do not work, or aren't seriously considered:

1. At no point will the 2-3 guilds in question share an equal amount of kills ( 2 guilds 50/50, 3 guilds 33/34/33 etc). So, whichever guild is getting the lion's share has far less reason to consider rotating with the lesser competitors. It doesn't matter whether the power balance shifts every now and then, 1 guild will always be the 60+/40-.

2. On P99, right now, the second reason is less meaningful because there truely are only 2 guilds capable of fielding #s to kill Trakanon/eventually VP. However, often rotations fail due to the rotation having not accounted for other guilds who may start taking their shots are "your" or "their" targets.
