I dont think many of you non tmo realize that although your suggestions all do prove a somewhat valid point, there is just no way in hell tmo would consider them because why would they want to possibly lose raid mobs to an easier system when the are currently destroying the current one

What you don't realize is, in the end the server staff can enforce the rules they want. If tomorrow, they change the raiding rules, TMO won't have their say.

nilbog/Rogean also mentioned that if you want pixels, you have to put the time in and clearly they are the only guild willing to do so. It's just the way it is so at this point learn to adapt or move out of the way. (coming from a non-guilded person)

There is a difference between putting time, and putting as much time. Quite a huge difference indeed.

And partial rotation would totally cover all the community - different - needs. It's just a matter of staff's will to enforce it. As long as they don't, TMO won't accept that of course. And player population may keep shrinking because of that. It's not the only reason though, and we can't say for sure.
