Good post except the issue the devs brought to light and that you posted is already being worked on.
The issue and resolution everyone else in the thread seems set on enacting is rotating mobs between not the "top guilds" but "anybody capable of killing a mob" so that the 500 level 60s on the server all get a chance at raid mobs because they don't want to log their characters out prepared and track. They wish to have their cake and eat it too.. which I don't recall being classic.
That comes off kind of dickish, but seriously this is what it seems to boil down to from everything I've been reading on this subject in the last couple of weeks. "Man we really want to kill dragons, but on this server you have to track them during their windows and have your force buffed, logged out, and prepared to do so in order to kill anything, and we don't want to do that since it's not what we did in classic!"
I don't get it. =\
Edit: And it should be known that I personally, as well as most everyone I'm sure is all for a solution that makes everything as classic as possible, however we need to keep a few things in mind, imo:
1. Variances were put in for a reason
2. The solution should affect all people equally
3. It should be easier for the GM's not more difficult
4. At the end of the day there are going to be 500 people standing around a pie and wanting a slice, but there just isn't enough to go around.

If you were to put in a rotation system w/ progression in mind(IE you gotta be able to clear all of sky before you can go to kunark ECT) the majority of those 500 people would not be in your way. you could do this as a step that guilds would have to complete in order to advance .
EPICS- make no mistake about it, In order for a rotation system to work, the top guilds would (and rightfully so) want first crack at these Epics. So make up your mind right now if you are willing to let one of these guys on your raid for the epic drops.if not then you guys can forget about seeing CT ,VS or Inny for a long time.
For the top guilds- if a rotation means we stay out of your playground , Are you willing to stay out of ours unless it is your turn at CT/INNY ect? You would Effectivly be able to complete the epics w/o the bullshit faster by compromizing on this, Keep in mind that the old loot goes to the mini bosses soon as epics are put in place.
Vox NAggy- With the lvl 52 restriction i feal these could be comunity events hosted By the top two w/ the epic pieces going to them. other loot could be Randomed.
VArrence. None of the above works if noone can plan when the boss mobs are going to be up. Guilds will be given a set amount of time from pop to either pass to next guild in line or Forfiet to FFA on said Boss.
compition- See REd99 or start requiring all the toons that are socking to stay logged on and at the pc NOT AFK for the 48 hour +/- sockfest . lets see who can stay up the longest.
