You're probably right on this one. Velious will fix this particular aspect. Who's tank engaged it first? Who's chain of clerics kept him up? The mobs having considerable amounts of hp won't make them 5 second shitshows of dragon slapfights. New problems will arrive, however.

Pullers will be consistently fucking other pullers. Tormax / statue come to mind on this one especially. Sontalak /klandicar will also cause problems if they are pulled similar to what we see with outdoor dragons now.

Leapfrogging should be back in full effect and have new issues. Who clears the trash before vulak if it means they won't be prepared to engage vulak immediately with a guild on their ass?

These seem to be already covered, however, in the don't steal pulls and don't be a dick method of ruling, which GMs can do fairly well. I just wish we didn't have to be some kinda photojournalism faggots with fraps constantly to get things taken care of.
Its easy guilds work between themselves. If guild A is in HoT farming and guild B opens the door to grief them. Guild B will have to deal with a bunch of pissed of Guild A griefers.
It promotes cooperation due to the possibility of interference and mutual destruction.

Not everyone likes spending their weekends being griefed or griefing in retaliation. Some people want to play to have fun in the PvE world and not deal with other people's entitlement issues.

Red99 is wide open.

PVP is not the same thing. Some people are entitled to their opinions. Some others would disagree with them.

If guilds didn't have GMs to go running back to for every little problem, shit would get worked out like it did for VP.

Exactly Players are the best police. Empower the players not some "force for good" who might be there one raid and not for the next 15, which forces us to compile evidence and go to trial court to play a game.

What exactly is preventing those same players from policing themselves at this very moment? The server having GMs and a rule set?

Each person in this thread could look beyond the rules that are in effect and reach out to each other and form a new code on top of the server rules, but it seems far too many enjoy the RnF drama to achieve anything without a babysitter.

Basically, as long as GMs enable guilds to look to them to solve their problems, people will look to the "higher power" to solve their problems.

They look to GMs because no real attempt at a player made code of raid conduct can ever get off the ground due to RnF and trolls invading the conversation.

It is almost as if certain players want organized chaos, as long as it is in their favor.

This is just basic human nature.
