why dont all these smaller guilds just merge to form a competitive guild, as opposed to hoping a mob pops within your guilds peak play time. for example u said 5pm-1am you'd be good to go, but not outside those hours.
so maybe time to think outside the box? if FC, FV, Div, and Taken were to merge, you would easily be able to start competing on just about any mob.
people will argue that they shouldnt have to merge to compete. and i will simply disagree because its not true. every top guild goes through mergers on their way to the top.
doing things the way you want, and doing things the way things need to be done to compete, are not always the same path. and theres a very good chance at some point you have to decide which of those paths you are going to embark on, because most times its not possible to do both.

If players want to compete with the top guild(s), they can just join them. I wonder sometimes if you understand how unattractive the raid scene can be for some players, who don't see it as a classic experience. Log lawyering, GM lobbying, huge variance meaning having to track for endless hours etc., being able to log on a computer seconds away from a batphone (and thus having some alts to play).
We can all agree here that it will not change. And asking top guilds to enter a rotation seems doomed to fail (at least with the current protagonists).
That is not my request.
I'm just asking the top guilds to open a window, the said week every X weeks, so smaller guilds can raid more like they want, and not how they would be forced to.
It would still leave a overwhelming amount of time for the top guilds to compete for 90% and more of the loot. Really, it's not asking for much. And yes, it's giving away on purpose some of the loot. But I know for a fact it would appease many smaller guilds, which would have their fun by just attempting these targets every now and then. That's all they need. Give little, for maximum benefits.
And by doing this, all the rotation discussion will be catered to smaller guilds, which will decide how to handle that week.
As people pointed out, start with some of the dragons. I know many people in FE would agree, it comes down to TMO to shake the hand on this.
Something like:
Talendor
Gorenaire
vox/naggy
Faydedar
Dracoliche
One week every X weeks. You decide.
(and this may or may not create some drama, which will entertain you in RnF for hours. You know you want it).
