I'm afraid I don't agree with you if the rotation is not GM enforced. The guilds don't get free time because they have to defend "their" mobs from the raid forces that don't subscribe to the rotation. They will sometimes lose those mobs as well, which means they are not guaranteed any loot.

First want to say I am sorry if I am derailing your thread, was not my intent!
Any rotation would have to be agreed upon by ALL raiding guilds. A feat likely impossible as you have said. That is the only way to assure that everyone gets something out of it.

What consequences could the rest of the community enforce on a raid guild powerful and organized enough to take raid targets from the rotation members? The rotation members won't group with them in KC or sebilis? The rotation members won't buy/sell with them? I can't conceive of anything the rotation members could do within the bounds of server rules that would dissuade those who want to compete for mobs and ignore the rotation.

A guild, providing it is one and not several, who do not comply with the rotation would simply be removed from it and the other guilds would have to come together to assure they rarely if ever get another raid target again. Until such case as they agree to follow the agreement. This again would require all raiding guilds to be in agreement and the GMs allowing the players to police themselves. And again stating that this is likely impossible. I can only see it happening if the GMs deem it not completely exclusive as to keep up and coming guilds out.

Maybe we aren't that far off in viewpoint. What I'm really saying is that this notion will never get beyond a hypothetical because there are people on this server that just won't abide a rotational system unless it is GM enforced with significant penalties.
So, as I said... to pursue discussion of a rotation any further, I think someone needs to get a dev to publicly state that they will enforce a rotation. Otherwise, I believe I have demonstrated that a rotation is not workable by providing specific scenarios as counterexamples.

Aye this is all just talk really about possibilities. The only thing I think we differ on is the # of people who will "abide" a particular system. And for each system there are people who will not abide by it. That all being said, I do like your purposed system! It's all about mobilization.
