There is no Russian conspiracy

And if you believe that RnF reflects the general server population I have a bridge to sell you.

Matter of interpretation, I suspect. It's flagrantly obvious that the majority of the server population raids only infrequently or not at all. I'm part of that majority. However, that portion of the community is totally irrelevant insofar as this sort of discussion is concerned--might as well be playing a different game entirely. That's why I've not participated much in spite of reading the thread--I'm not going to be in temple veeshan more than once in a blue moon regardless of ruleset so what do I care?. Within the subset of the active raiding population the views posted in the thread might be more representative.

The frequent complaint that a rotation will struggle because of a fundamentally inadequate spawn rate seems fair enough. The Kunark-era "class R" rotation eventually (and predictably) broke down for exactly that reason. The middle-tier guilds turned against each other due to there being fundamentally insufficient spawns to go around. The pixel sickness took over and it fell apart. Any proposed rotation must somehow address that problem or else it'll suffer the same fate. How is that goal achieved within the existing game mechanics? Interested ion your thoughts on that matter.

more quakes has been and will always be to answer to solve a lot of the strife casual guilds are experiencing. But thats asking CSR to put in more work and the whole point was to try and lessen their workload. Quakes tend to need to be monitored and that's probably why there has been much less of them because rogean doesn't want to babysit 2-3 quakes a month.

about AG competing and winning mobs in ToV, yes they do get some but lets not pretend that AM doesn't still get 80+% of the mobs because they are bloated beyond what should be possible for a classic EQ guild and are able to keep multple FTE teams going at multiple targets around the clock during repop windows.
I'm tired of hearing all these aftermath forum warriors telling us about how other guilds can just "put in the effort and take mobs if they wanted to", its just not a reasonable thing to ask other guilds to just zerg recruit anything with a pulse to compete with aftermath. It would be fine if they just put all their effort into getting the top targets, but that's not enough they try to take fucking everything from everyone all the time, its ridiculous. They don't want competition, they want all the pixels.

There should be a roster cap for guilds. AM shouldn't be able to recruit half the server and just have enough people online at all times to simultaneously sock ToV, Kt/statue, CT, Dain, PD, Naggy, Gore, Sev, or pretty much anything of value, all the while also locking down idol camp as well.

the thing that will totally destroy your entire post is...

alts. if you think any long timer only has a few 60s then lol and if there is a roster cap then they will break off and make alt guilds
