If we are going to rotate then it might as well be instances. Many of us stay for the competition, not the loot piņatas.
If the intent was to reduce headcount/server cost over the recent increase then this will work. A better option would have been to put out a request for monies as many would have donated.
If the intent was to minimize or reduce the effectiveness of a few guilds that have put in their time, effort, and recruited the best, then this will work.
If the intent was to allow more players to experience the end-game for a cycle before they rotate to a different game, then this will work. Not many are going to wait around for months before their next loot piņata that is a freebie.
If the intent was to punish certain guilds over political infighting, then this will work. Despite that infighting being a result of server rules.
If the intent is to reward the 5 or so folks in each mid-tier guild that give a crap with high-end loot, then this will work. A better option would have been for those folks to apply to the group(s) of like minded individuals that try hard to a try hard guild.
If the intent was to eliminate competition and the desire to compete/play for many, this will work.
I’m not a smart man, but it really feels like we’re shooting ourselves in the foot for a short term gain.
