My solution

Ok. This is an attempt to find a fair solution and to set aside differences. What do you think? This works with the assumption that our GMs will release Plane of Hate early.

I understand that we all want a classic experience, but it is evident that we are outpacing content here. Unlike 1999, we all know what we are doing and as a result, we are leveling faster and obtaining loot faster. Opening Plane of Hate a month early will put a lot of conflict to rest.

Here is my solution:

Each week is a planes week for IB or Trans. In addition, each guild gets a dragon.

Here is an example:

Week 1:

IB takes Plane of Fear (including all content in plane of fear such as a CT kill). They also get Nagafen.

Transcendence takes Plane of Hate (including all content in plane of hate such as Inny). They also get Vox.

We would then switch off. Fire giants and Phinny could also be worked out this way too.

Doing it this way provides MORE than enough content for both guilds during a week long period.

It is evident that a rotation is the way the GMs want this server to run, so let's make the most of it by allowing us to have our schedules full. This way will make it happen.

This is basically a rotation, which is what we have now - and which nobody likes.
That being said, if we DO have to have a rotation, this is a great way to do it. Allizia brought up a good point, about waiting until the last minute of your turn to drop 7 day bosses - so maybe a 24 hour time limit on those bosses before it becomes FFA? Also Bubbles brings up a good point that this solution is (currently) tailored to 2 guilds. When there are 3 raiding guilds, we can just split the content up more: guild 1 gets hate, guild 2 gets fear, guild 3 gets dragons. 4 raiding guilds? Not likely to happen until sky comes out, making this fine, but if it does happen, one dragon? Skip a week? Any of these solutions are fair, but they all eliminate any competition, which is a negative in my opinion.
I like my idea better, but if it comes down to a situation where we cannot agree, this sort of rotation (week instead of day based) is preferable to me.
