Lets pretend that P99 had rotations from the start. There would be no drama, no race for loot and therefore guilds would practically never split up because they would never fail consistently enough to be so unhappy with there current situation to change it. In this rotation of guilds you have:
Inglorious basterds, Transcendance, Divinity, Fish bait, Gothic Circle, Dark Ascension, TMO, and countless other guilds that would crop up because there is no need for guilds to increase past a certain size.

It would take a year to gear out a raid force of 14 and even that process would have been ridiculously boring. A server with forced rotations could not ever live with a reasonable server population, people would get bored and leave.
Versus what? Everyone but TMO leaving, kinda like it's been recently?

If you are not a proponent of the natural order of things as they now exist, there are only two "good" solutions to the bottleneck. Neither one is classic, so heh, there ya go. However, they are either:

1) Instance all major raid encounters.
or
2) Vastly increase the frequency of all major raid encounters.

There are problems associated with both of these solutions, ergo, there is no good solution. The theme here of course is to increase the amount of available raid content. In reality, only Velious will bring some relief. Some.

I'm a fan of the raid token idea proposed by the sleeper emu. Guilds with superior mobilization still get the lions share of encounters, but smaller guilds get *some* content through tokens. It's still worth competing, and smaller guilds get to experience content, just at a much reduced pace.

Fully agree its not classic.

This is going to start a fire in this thread but its my honest answer. I would start over as would like 90% of my guild if a new blue 99 was opened if and only if TMO was not allowed on that server.

I'd roll TMO3.0 on that server and crush your hopes into the ground.
