You really want a full-on server-wide rotation, Mortiss? Because I sure don't. I personally wouldn't cry over kunark outdoor dragons being rotated or something, but I think I'd come to miss the experience. Rotations are boring. I have raided under a GM-imposed rotation here that was beautifully upheld, and you know what? It was fucking stupid.
I've heard a lot of people over the years say they want to work together, but unfortunately when it comes to actually trying to work together, in most instances it has ended in a stalemate because people show up with ridiculous demands. I wish that people could actually come up with some reasonable ideas, something that isn't a complete overhaul of the current system. Something like "First Talendor next month is off limits to all guilds that have solo killed him before," would have a much better chance of success, in my opinion. Rinse and repeat with something else. Nobody is trying to deny anybody some sort of enjoyment. The blatant fact of the matter is a single Kunark server presents a relative scarcity - there are too many people. And a guild can kill Talendor or Draco or whatever once or twice - get the experience - but in the end nobody (no guild, I mean) is ever going to get as many kills and as much loot as they would like. If people want to have shots at these mobs at their own speed or whatever, they should figure out something that doesn't impede too much on the habits of the hardcore element here. I think you might be surprised at how receptive the leaders of our guilds would be if some smaller guilds just said "hey we'd just like to get an attempt on Talendor - any chance you'll agree to give us 40 min if the other guys agree too?" And maybe they wouldn't because they fear it would inhibit the goals or momentum or whatever they have going at the moment, but I personally would embrace such an opportunity in most instances if the other guys would too.
