exactly, what happend when IB and TMO went at it for months on high priority targets(trak, vp) we went on rotation. Any guild if commited can force that same rotation, Good lucky people

Right, that's true. But the problem is that the level of commitment required to force that equilibrium on P99 is not equivalent to the level that was required in classic. Having to track a dozen targets for days on end with no real idea of when they will spawn is not classic. Classic was a clusterf*ck of activity surrounding a few hot hours when a mob was expected to spawn. Think about if, right now, VS's variance was wiped (this is just an example). If everyone on the server knew that VS was spawning at exactly 4:05 PM EST today, there would be 100 people fighting for that spawn. Over the course of multiple mobs and multiple weeks, there would eventually be stalemates. TMO dominates the current system, but in a more classic system, it would not be possible for TMO -- or anyone else -- to dominate this thoroughly. You'd likely still be the #1 guild on the server, but you wouldn't be leaps and bounds above the pack, and there would actually be significant incentive for your guild to split and form two able bodies instead of one.
That's a more classic scenario. In my opinion, it's better for everyone involved -- including TMO. Phat lewtz aside, it's no fun to be on top of the mountain with nobody else in eyesight. You'd all probably be happier to still be #1, but with legitimate competition.
