No.
1. Minimum guild size: Any main can make a billion alts. See number 3.
2. Skill requirements: any top end guild with the bare minimum in numbers can beat a dragon. Without having to race, even fewer people are needed.
3. IP account check: Fine. Is there a maximum number of accounts a single person can have?
Forced rotations is asking for an instanced World of Warcraft scenario except far worse and far more boring as any one guild will be waiting forever to kill a dragon in 30 seconds only to wait a few weeks to kill another dragon in 30 seconds.
Carebears may think they want this kind of server, but they don't. Carebears want the same thing as hardcores. They just want it handed to them on a silver platter, and at relatively the same rate as hardcores.
What carebears also need to consider is that carebear, casual guilds do not operate well without the hard core Raid Leaders (RL) in evidence. I was in BDA before TMO, and I must say that without Chest on raids as RL, BDA was not so shiny in execution, meaning that if carebears truly want a server devoted to only carebears, your progression to top end guild status may never happen. Be careful what you wish for.

combine your points 1 and 3 and you will see what I mean (it won't matter if you have a billion alts if they are all in one guild)
but the point here isn't that I have all the answers or that the server would fail if it was made.
the point here is this is something most carebears want.. and the hardcore raiders don't want.
thats why you make one server with no gm enforcement at all ( a dream come true for hardcore raiders yes?)
and one server for casuals/carebears with a community decided set of rules.. community monitored.. then if issues arise they are reported and dealt with by staff. (almost like a democracy with a parliament of guilds?)
I don't see much of an increase in workload for gm's either as they wouldn't have to get involved in the competitive server except for stopping hacking or creating a guild.
I bet you that IB and VD would even comeback to a no gm involvement server to compete against TMO.. wouldn't you guys love the thrill of actual competition again?
I'm sure there are tons of casuals from divinity,bda,acyrid, whatever guild who would be willing to assist in any capacity as guide or gm.
many others have stated it in the thread though.. casuals want to be able to experience content.. not have to deal with guilds whose entire game plan is to prevent others from experiencing content to maintain their ego and "status".
