I'm fairly certain not everyone is going to hold hands and help other guilds with their epic quest pieces for mobs that they don't have rights to (I could be wrong but that's just my somewhat cynical observation) There would have to be other methods to beat out someone on a mob they have sole ownership of other than just server resets otherwise some epic quests for some guilds would never be finished.

EDIT: as far as the mention of time played vs loot won: honestly it's only a few minutes difference for some. Most of the time multiple people use tracker accounts and at best you're maybe sitting online on a level 60 character chatting up a storm or watchin movies for a few hours. There's not much to gain/be productive doing while tracking, yes.. but there's also not much reason to be productive on that particular character. Everyone else on the raid is logged out with an incapacitated character or may be out leveling in the same zone or on another character. It's not perfect but as far as the time sink goes it's not as large of a change as you may think. The majority of the time played actually comes from waiting on the pull and/or waiting for other guilds to kill it or wipe, which provides at least some level of competition. if we changed it to your method it would simply be a rotation EXCEPT on server repop days, limiting the amount of competition and further beefing up rotations PER MOB which would get really messy.*

*Assuming I understood the raid proposal correctly.
