Not only would a move like this be unprecedented, it would be unenforceable. Groups of people who want to play together will do so, regardless of how guilds are required to be divided. There would be no way for GM's to realistically enforce something like this when players would simply split larger guilds into two smaller forces on paper, and work together to kill mobs. Senario: "TMO Adam Squad assisted TMO Boy Squad on Trakanon this morning." Both squads had 30 people.

I am pretty certain if you split one large force into two smaller forces they'd compete. Especially if TMO claims to want the competition they do, it seems like just the medicine.

i actually think this has been a rather constructive and drama free thread, and im actually surprised that it didnt devolve into a straight up shit storm and end up in rnf like most threads of this nature. so lets review:

Rotation Pro's:
less time spent tracking for everyone
eliminates poop socking
promotes fair play
less gm involvement in raid scene
smaller guilds may be more inclined to participate in chasing big targets

Rotation Cons:
eliminates what many perceive to be competition
less kills over all for the top guild
can be an utter failure if one guild decides to break the rotation
unsupported by server staff
is probably a pain in the ass to manage(who would call the shots on who gets in the rotation?)

thats all ive got so far, but i think one thing we can all agree on is that something needs to be done with the current FTE ruleset(either by instituting shouts or just saying to hell with it all and going FFA). Also i think its time to take a look at raid mob spawn variance and possible simultaneous repops(where u at nilbog?? dont leave us hangin!)

EDIT: post 420... /grin

The big con is right here:

Without GM's enforcing rotations, everyone who wants to raid would lose. It's just a matter of convincing the staff that rotations are in the best interest of the server.

Let's go play some Counterstrike. We have a kill rotation set up on my server so we can all get a turn enjoying the game. Unlike how it would be here, the headshot rotation IS enforced on my server. Come play.

Little details =P
Point is in February VD had taken most or alot of the trak kills and TMO still wouldn't consider a rotation. 6 VS kills ain't gonna break those cats.

This would be better if your "point" was also fact.
