EQ, at the high-end, never was about getting along. Top guilds routinely leapfrogged, 'sploited, lied, and did whatever they could do maintain their advantage. They had to. If they didn't, someone else who did took the lead. Such are the joys of contested content--it brings out the worst in people.
Some folks even see that as one of EQ's strengths. Not me. I'm uninterested in the EQ high-end and view it as outdated design which is best left in the dustbin of history.
All that being said, I dislike the notion of a forced rotation, especially one which applies to entire zones. How can a group of people who may not even be logged on 'own' an entire zone? The folks enforcing the rotation indicate that THEY don't like it either. Perhaps it's necessary for the time being to curb other, nastier behavior.
Let the nostalgia go away. This is one of EQ's fundamental flaws in action--too little content for too many people. Given that reality, no solution will make everyone happy, and most will leave everyone slightly unhappy.
