Chest, the simple fact is that there is a rotation that was formed that did not include arguably the #2 guild on the server. To remedy that situation we've come here in an attempt to find a way to enter the rotation in a manner that allows it to continue AND include everyone that wants to raid the zone. You, in your usual doom and gloom fashion, have assumed that we're just going to do what basically every raiding guild in the past has done and not respect any form of rotation. How you came to that conclusion is beyond me but I think this entire thread is evidence that we're going out of our way to avoid that.
Part of a rotation is maintaining and adapting it to meet the needs of those of us raiding on the server. There are 7 days in the week and 8 guilds that want to raid sky. Due to the raiding hours chosen by weekend guilds currently, there are only 7 slots that really work for most north american players. Certainly AM raids are an option, but the reason no other guild has taken AM times is because AM times simply don't work for most guilds.
Given these facts, instead of giving us one shitty option (raid in the AM) and then assuming the worst (we're just going to steamroll people), maybe you should be trying to work with us to find a solution. I think there is some potential for some slight adjustments to weekend times as Zanderr mentioned that can allow us all to get a weekly raid in. However, if the current members of the rotation are rigid and unwilling to compromise with new guilds trying to enter, do you really think the rotation is going to last?
I personally think it is awesome that sky has been put onto a rotation and hope to see it maintained, but as you've pointed out we could easily just go up there whenever we want, which in terms of loot would definitely be to our benefit. However, since we're willing to make compromises in an attempt to join and abide by the rotation I think it is only fair that the current members of the rotation do the same to accommodate us. If you're unwilling to do that I don't really see how you expect this rotation to last.
