In the spirit of condensed clutter:
Guild and PUGRaid rotation is in fact the solution here:
Setup raid targets and times on calendar, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday.
Guilds and Rpugs throw their name into the hat for raid targets and date time slots.
Individual date time slots are lotteried, you get one slot a week on any one raid target, period, unless their is no one else in rotation for an alloted slot.
Failures to hit the raid target fall to the Alternative/BACKUP lotteried guild, if there is no backup the target is FFA.
Guilds may not continually hit the same target and be lotteried that way week after week, everyone needs a shot at naggy etc. You can throw your name in, but don't expect to get Naggy/Vox/Air/PoH/PoF week after week, its up to the raid liason to rotate the lottery so its fair.
Basically a big scheduling nightmare with a twist, but it IS the fairest solution to maintain server social cohesiveness, unless we want 4 FoH, 2 vagrant/elitest, and 1 WoD running around on the server, with all the drama that goes along with.
----------------
I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner. With one server, I think we all know that someone from the community needs to step up to the plate and become a raiding liason/planning manager, for the entire community.
An assistant will be needed as well. Calendar setup here on the forums, etc.
I've done it before on the tribunal for 3 years, worked pretty well, though it takes a little time and alot of integrity to manage the best solution to a horrendous problem. You think its bad now? Wait til Kunark hits and the server pop triples.
