If a new p99 server opened with forced raid target rotations would you switch?

Once again, there are two types of people on this server.

Group A is here to simply see most of the content that they never got to see on Live. I'd say this is about 80% of the playerbase, mostly in guilds like Acyrid, Divinity, and quite a bit of BDA. Probably over half of VD was like this.

Group B is here to have better equipment, be 'uber', and 'dominate' the server. I'd say this is about 20% of the playerbase, with most of them in TMO, or ex IB, but there are some in BDA. VD certainly had a core that thought this way, for example Botnet.

But here is the rub: it is physically impossible to satisfy both groups. Group B's enjoyment of the game depends on being better and otherwise outplaying Group A. Meanwhile everyone in group A (the vast majority of the server) would simply cheer if everyone in B left because they would finally be able to actually see some content without having to go nuts tracking/batphoning etc. Obviously it would take years to gear up all these casuals, but most wouldn't care.

And this leads us to the final point: Currently the raid rules on the server favor Group B 100%. A group of players who batphone/poopsock/track/train etc can totally deny Group A from seeing any content or getting any items at all. So all these proposals are simply Group A trying to change the raid rules. A fixed rotation obviously is a set of raid rules that 100% favor group A. The willingness of TMO players to play 4x as much per day is irrelevant, and they get exactly the same gear. And this is why you guys are all raging at the thought of a rotation.

Which is why we need linked respawns, which are a balance between A and B. B gets a bit more than their fair share of of raid items owing to their great experience/gear/whatever, but A isn't totally denied seeing the content like it is now. This is what I have been ranting about for months now on these boards, and with a little luck Nilbog and Rogean are going to implement it based on what I have seen. Which makes me actually want to play in the raid scene a bit.

/thread except for sperglord a/b terminology imo
