Are the servers revolting against the GMs?

You're assuming the guilds at the top want "competition". That is where these suggestions break down and never get accepted.

They want domination/monopolization.

Case in point: Even now, you have ST rushing to secure camps at the rest of the VP key pieces to put off having to contest dragons in VP for as long as possible.

Don't be fooled, the people who don't want K1C1 don't really want competition - they want their turn at pixel lordship.

Kill one concede one is a lot simpler and a lot more practical while still fostering competition. It achieves the goal of ending the us vs them toxicity and it prohibits the one guild monopoly eventuality.

the math checks out.

I remain flabbergasted that people replying to that threat thought that the short list of rules I enumerated was complicated when compared the pages and pages of raid rules from Sirken (apparently now even longer thanks to Galach and Menden foolishly trying to do the impossible).

Again, the problem is the nature of open world competition in what is fundamentally a PVE game. It will always come down to idiocy like Mario Kart races, batphones, poopsocking, or other stupidity. And because these rules will always be arbitrary constructions, they will always be enforced by lawyerquest and petitions and RNF nastiness rather than the game engine as players attempt to push the envelope (or outright cheat).

I think the servers' raiding population is revolting TO the GM's....

Quake every week.

Pretty much. The 10 people who actually want competition are on Red.

Who knew trying to hold back snaggletooths from their precious pixels would cause issues.
