Since the high-end game is not really about competition (i.e. each time they get actual competition, they merge to strengthen their numbers or they rules-lawyer everything to their favor instead of actually competing) and more about "who can get the most pixels", each uber raid guild will do precisely what it takes to ensure themselves the most pixels... find out which server the other is going to, and go to the opposite one.
Why burn themselves out fighting over raid targets when they can each have one of the two hypothetical servers to themselves, when no other raid guild has demonstrated the desire to "show devotion" at their level? Then we're right back where we started... two servers each with one hardcore raid guild Taking Things a Little Too Seriously (tm), and then the casual/semi-casuals who aren't willing to sacrifice real life for a video game, still being cut out of the endgame.
Server split only works if the hardcore go to one server and compete against each other, which they have been clamoring "makes EQ fun" for them. But I don't think they want actual competition... they try to snuff it out as soon as it emerges.

If you don't try to destroy your competition, then they aren't really competition.
Google it and you will find.
competitor - the contestant you hope to defeat.
Every guild on the server has the chance to snag any dragon/god on the server (except maybe Trakanon). Trak is a poop fest when he comes around, and that's much because he is the main key to cockblocking VP for other guilds. Whenever Trak is in window, the other guilds have a significantly greater chance at grabbing raid targets.
Want to fix the current raid scene and make it more interesting? Make it so that when Trakanon is in window, all other raid targets that happen to be in window have a increased chance to spawn.
I think the only thing that should be rotated is VP and that is mainly to combat the stupid shit that will happen in there if both guilds are racing. It will be a clusterfuck that will only end up with people getting banned (be it because of something intentional or not) and causing the GMs to get even more frustrated.
least that's how I see it playing out.
