Once that turns into a cluster of 15 monks at the zoneline at all times maybe people will come back to the drawing boards and consider perhaps devoting 6+ people to tracking each mob isn't worth it when the split on mobs is 50/50 anyways and rotations may be the way to go after all.
Until every guild on the server wants to get on those rotations [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am a fan of rotations as well but also know, and have seen how those get taken advantage of and go to pot too.

Basically yes.

The way things are guilds mob counts wouldn't shift much if we just did a 50/50 split.

But once CSG and BDA ask to be on the rotation and that drops to 25%, there will be salt.

Either the same thing from Class R will happen "You must slay Sontalak for your ToV week" and "you must slay AoW for your Kael week", ridiculous milestones will be put up to farm much easier mobs in an attempt to keep people out. Or people will say F this we are willing to put in the time, back to the big gay pile of CotHQuest.

The reason I stress GM intervention is, let's say we make an agreement like Fifield proposes, then one guild breaks it. What happens? There's no server rule that can punish them, therefore there is no deterrent to breaking the agreements. People can get pretty crazy over a single mobs pixels and have broken agreements for less.

I've tried to PM Sirken to set up a chat between guilds with him present, he seems to like hanging out on his stream, hell I'll go on your stream if you want to talk about this with other guild leaderships and make something change. But he hasn't responded. In fairness I'm sure there's better ways of getting ahold of him than PM.

100% down for this. Whoever kills Sontalak gets TOV for the weekend.

Anyway, all I see is Fifield slowly realizing FA's 'we ran Rampage off the server because we are this amazing competitive force' narrative is pure spin. You guys had no problem trying to burn out Rampage with this mage idiocy, expecting that history would repeat and you guys would get a year of uncontested TOV the way TMO got a year of uncontested VP after Kunark. Instead you got two weeks: awakened is already the number one guild on the server, scoring over 50% in TOV and killing Tunare/AOW from 100%.

I don't see us making any player agreements, either. FA has a long history of being very . . . creative . . . with player agreements, e.g. Nalken and shadowstep. I personally would vote for a rotation in TOV, but on our side I kind of have to wonder if your alliance will just fall apart in another month or two of this.

What you should be doing is trying to get everyone from the four major guilds together to agree on a repop system. Something like 1/3 of all raid mobs, spread equally across all zones simultaneously respawn 5x per weeek at a random time weighted towards North America > Europe > Asia with some sort of anti parkout system where everyone has to start from a 'rally zone' and no Kael/TOV binds sounds super fun.

100% agree with that. And I wouldn't blame people for getting salty.

If there was a rotation I would suggest a silent agreement. This way you avoid the other guilds trying to get free loot.

The moment you posted a public agreement, within a month or less other guilds would be wanting it in on it as well.

If you're going to rotate mobs - which Awakened and ForsakenGard really should, since there are no more 'firsts' to be had, keep it between yourselves.
