So in short, Rogean seems to say it isn't like live and we implemented training cause I don't have to explain myself to you guys (or have my judgement questioned) but open to changes if warranted. Sirken seems to favour Darwinism to take place, fight fire with fire and earn respect by being bigger douches than TMO.

Instead of logically trying to explain how it's better one way or another, it would be nice to have a server poll started by the server staff (to prevent trolling) that asks everyone if they are happy with the current raiding rules/policies. If the server sits at 50/50 then status quo should be preserved. If there is however an overwhelming side towards changes another poll should then be started regarding "viable" alternative rules.

I say viable, because it's clear this is still a privately run emu and not all options would be realistically available (especially those that require increased moderation or coding modifications). If the server staff isn't even willing to do that then one of the players should start the thread here. Those who are passionate about changes should then spread the word through word of mouth on the server and keep the poll running for about a week. Anything over 500+ responses should be pretty legitimate. If that doesn't prompt changes from the staff then I doubt very little would change the policy. At that point you just need to get with the program or GTFO.

Each side has their own arguments with its own flaws and merits. This shouldn't be arguing pointlessly about who is right but more about if people are happy playing under current conditions.
The best human entertainment comes from conquering something you perceive to be greater than yourself or by strife. If there wasn't competition for mates/resources/whatever humanity would die of boredom. Due to scarcity some percentage of humanity will always be unhappy(provided scarcity exists forever). So doing a poll on whether or not people are happy is really a moot point. This is a raid scarcity server... people will be unhappy if what they want is raids. Just like people were un-happy in leveling zones the past week when so many more people were exping.
