i actually think this has been a rather constructive and drama free thread, and im actually surprised that it didnt devolve into a straight up shit storm and end up in rnf like most threads of this nature. so lets review:

Rotation Pro's:
less time spent tracking for everyone
eliminates poop socking
promotes fair play
less gm involvement in raid scene
smaller guilds may be more inclined to participate in chasing big targets

Rotation Cons:
eliminates what many perceive to be competition
less kills over all for the top guild
can be an utter failure if one guild decides to break the rotation
unsupported by server staff

thats all ive got so far, but i think one thing we can all agree on is that something needs to be done with the current FTE ruleset(either by instituting shouts or just saying to hell with it all and going FFA). Also i think its time to take a look at raid mob spawn variance and possible simultaneous repops(where u at nilbog?? dont leave us hangin!)
The big con is right here:

Without GM's enforcing rotations, everyone who wants to raid would lose. It's just a matter of convincing the staff that rotations are in the best interest of the server.
