As for 'showing up late to the party and wants things easier'

You quoted me, so you clearly read my post, but it doesn't seem like you actually read my post: I agree, 100%, Project 1999 is unfair! It's especially unfair to people who are "late to the party."

Want a Mana Orb, Guise of the Deceiver, Circlet of Shadow, or Holgresh Elder Beads, but you were late to the server/party? Too bad: your only option is to farm a ton of plat and buy one from someone who wasn't late to the party.

Now again, that's not a values judgement, it's a statement of fact. If you think it's unfair (because it is) that you have to pay a million plat for a Guise (or whatever they sell for), while other people just had to kill a mob once, then you have to convince the devs that everyone would be better off if they added Guises back into the game.

Sky is the same exact thing (a system that's unfair to the new people), except that convincing 14 guilds/alliances to try something new is a whole hell of lot easier than convincing Nilbog to put Guises back in the game. But it's certainly not going to be easy, and like I said if you want to succeed at it you have to understand why things are how they are, and then suggest something better.

P.S. And rotations are 100% classic, in the sense that there were servers (even in the classic era) that had rotations. They are also 100% unclassic, in the sense that there were servers that didn't have rotations. So really arguing for/against rotations being classic is a lost cause.

P.P.S.

This very situation actually resulted in a guild getting raid banned

Unless I missed something, no guilds were banned: one group got a one week suspension.
