Raid Compromise Proposal

Eh? Asgard was in Class C at that point. It had nothing to do with you, you were a non-factor.

No, the rotation would not have worked without the Class system. It only worked because TMO/IB were forbidden from touching 1/3rd of the spawns - once that went away in Velious, the rotation can't work unless those top guilds decided to honor it. Maybe Rampage would have, but not Forsaken. Without server-backed rules and GM enforcement, nothing would have stopped a guild from wrecking the rotation.

What is the anniversary of the Rotation breaking up anyway - anyone know the official date of that infamous Draco with 90 people socking from 7 guilds?

( which btw Taken won that race wuwu )

When you get in line at the grocery store, do you cut to the front/middle there as well? No, you wait, starting at the back, like everyone else had. There was no barrier to entry, you just had to wait your turn, like everyone else. If the line's too long, then put your items back on the shelf and go to another store (server).

BDA's (and Taken's and Divinity's) argument against the rotation was spelled out nicely in that thread. To keep with the grocery line analogy: the alliance guilds kept asking to have their place saved while the "big 3" had to do their grocery shopping at 2AM. Also, the alliance guilds would share their spots in line, so they went through it 2+ times for every time the "big 3" went through, albeit they had a "5 item limit" to purchase every time.

If this is in reply to what I wrote (good idea to quote) then I'm refering to the gateway mobs. If not who are you replying to? If you are then your analogy isn't relevant because you dont have to past some impossible test to get in the line in the first place.
