He's asking for the classic experience, no more, no less. Who it benefits is irrelevant.

Personally, I never played on a server where GM's enforced rules other than play nice and FTE (first to engage). AFAIK GM's were not supposed to enforce any other rules - whether player sanctioned or not. I'm pretty sure any GM trying to enforce a 15 people in zone to claim mob "A" rule, that essentially forced the top guilds to camp instead of race, thereby not playing the game and likely burn out and leave, would have been persuaded otherwise by the powers that be.

The fact is that at no time in the first three expansions was there enough uber loot to feed every person who happened to ding the top level. Rotation doesn't solve that, it just makes it so that those who do put in the effort to be first and to kill cleanly are not rewarded by being equipped to take on the newer content.

The biggest blow mind to me is not that the guilds are camping (someone is going to start it) but that:

a) on a "classic" server such a non-classic thing as variance was actually coded and then a non-classic rule is enforced to bork it to high hell
b) it hasn't been changed back now it is quite clearly a dumb idea
