Well let me explain why calander and rotation and carebear wont work. Its not that high end raiding guilds mind losing 2 or 3 mobs within a month its that they dont want the competing guilds to get loot/keys. Its a simple fact that if you stop other guilds from recieving the loot then you stay on top of the game. As soon as random guilds are getting a fair share of the loot then you start losing your own player base. As it is now if you want to effectivly be in a raiding guild you have only 2 choices, which means those guilds will allways have a constant application list and in the end be raid capable. So in 2 months when VP comes out..there will only be 2 guidls inside instead of 4 or 5, and if possible both raiding guilds will try to keep each other out as well. Its just the way classic EQ was. Even back in velious era, you would see guilds still killing trak to not allow other guilds to get VP keys, until they were done farming VP. Priority for guilds has allways been to
a) get keyed/geard
b) to stop others from getting keyed/geared

Its just the way EQ works....
Except the time investment that's required is completely different. How many times do I have to say this? Did anyone in classic have to track a mob for up to 96 hours? No, because no mobs had 96 hour windows.

The thing is, it would make sense for the top guilds to agree to a rotation because they'd get more mobs per minute that they spend playing the game, and would probably have more time to enjoy the game, level their alts, or just go outside.
