3. up and commers (people who can play a lot) are recruited into guild and shown the "how to" guide for raiding.

4. This guild trivializes raid content, server doesn't care because they are not raid-ready yet as a majority. No drama...yet

5. casual players catch up and want pixels, current top guild that is raid-trained beats out competition and is turned into a monster in the eyes of the public.

6. Casual guild increases numbers to compete against well trained and geared force of top guild.

7. New casual Zerg force wins some raids, loot is spread thin amongst large guild, internal issues lead to bad blood/forum drama internally and between top guilds.

8. Butt-hurt guilds recruit zerg forces to tackle raid targets at any time of day and cock-block other guilds. Serious bad blood created/ forum drama ensues.

9. 3rd and 4th raid guilds start to emerge, Play nice and fair preached on all mediums, in all ways, at all times. Top guilds worked too hard earning there loots to give freely, made to look like more of a monster.

Long story short, wiping the server/creating a new server/murdering TMO members irl is not going to change the end game of EQ. You could wipe this server 100 times and be right back in this same position with a different set of names and faces doing the exact same shit, every time. So enjoy it the way it is, cause this is the only server you will ever get. If you can't enjoy it like it is, then quit, Thats what i did and I was IN the top guild.
Hi, welcome to the thread for people to vote on whether they think a server with forced rotations is a good idea.

Have you any input on the subject?

I would think that if one was created it would avoid all the drama you listed.
This server would obviously not be geared towards hardcore gamers like the many of the people in the top guilds. These people would get bored quickly and leave.
