I think a token system which allows guild to spawn raid mobs on demand would be an interesting experiment. The trick would be in distributing the tokens in such a way that more serious, dedicated and organized guilds would receive more to fairly reward them for their extra effort. For example, I doubt any guild on the server (outside of FE perhaps) would give a shit if TMO killed Trak or VS at the rate of 5-1 what any other guild got, because even getting 1 of those kills would be a major improvement for casual guilds over the 0 they are practically guaranteed now. The complaint is not that TMO is "winning", it's that casual guilds aren't even in the game.
A token system could also be an excellent way to introduce a plat sink if implemented well. I'm not sure if tokens themselves should be vender purchasable (if so they should be extremely pricey, 100k+ a pop). But perhaps the system for acquiring tokens could make heavy use of plat in the form of quests, expensive tradeskill items, etc... It would also give 60s something to do besides track and farm. Maybe "lesser tokens" could be vendored for 10-25k a pop which spawn a version of the mob that drops no regular loot, but does have a chance to drop a token to spawn the normal, loot-dropping version of the mob.
The fairest way to distribute tokens would probably be to require guilds to do a series of VP/epic style quests and increase their token rate depending on how many members they get "keyed" at certain levels. So the baseline level might entitle a guild to spawn one of each unique raid mob per month, while the highest level could be 1-2 a week. In addition, raid mobs should continue to spawn normally to allow organized TMO/FE guilds to compete with mobilization to get extra kills.
A fun wildcard would also be to have tokens drop RANDOMLY from any mob in the game at a rate of one per week (i.e. 1 Trak token, 1 CT token, etc... would drop per 7 day calendar week). These would be up tradeable items up for grabs for any guild that could acquire them. It would add a fun chaotic element to the server as guilds scrambled to track down each of the dropped tokens for the week, and just imagine the smile on a newb's face when he kills an Orc Pawn and looks a token of Trakanon which he can auction for 50k+.
