New ToV Racing Rules

[Man0warr]

How did anyone lose pixels with a rotation? That's the whole point of a rotation. No one lost shit to BDA/Taken/Divinity in Class R for the entire year the rotation was active.

No guild was denied access to the rotation, as long they went to the end of the line when joining. If they didn't want to play by the rotation rules that 8+ other guilds were following, then they were on their own.

It wasn't until the rotation broke down a couple months before Velious that Class R became a 3-guild rotation.

I seem to remember BDA and Taken attempting to institute some sort of kill requirement to join the rotation. Too lazy to find a source, but I specifically remember smaller guilds scoffing of the idea that they'd need to kill gore to enter the rotation on common footing. Memory is a bit rough, but I think it had something to do with splitting the Kunark mobs into two tiers, and killing Gore would have been the mob necessary to enter the tier with all the good mobs.

That was right before Velious - it was an attempt at a reform to the rotation that had been in place that some guilds were taking advantage of.

It didn't end up mattering since Rogean/Sirken said the Class system was dead with Velious.

But guilds should be able to kill Gorenaire to be able to attempt Maestro!

Okay I liked. You had to kill Talendor before you could attempt Maestro.

That was the second version though. This was the first version:

I always thought it would make sense for guild to have an alliance for some mobs and rotate all together but other mobs they could do individually if they wanted/were capable. I guess I can understand where guilds that didn't need to ally were coming from, but it was always weird to me that if you had to ally to do Gorenaire, people wanted you to ally to do Maestro. I think some guilds would have just preferred to not be included on the rotation list for Gorenaire or would rather have picked and chose their specific mobs to be on the rotation list for. However, the rotation was sort of like Comcast, and you had to get bundled packages instead of just picking and choosing the channels you wanted.

However, that's neither here nor there at this point.

I find problems with obvious solutions boring. 1 week any guild that isn't A/A competes. If someone would rather take a thwack at A/As pixils, they can always join the C tier and try to compete, but then they can't go for the casual tier.
