It turns this server into another non-competitive server just like all the rest and loses its appeal.

This is already a non-competitive server. The competitive server is over on Red. Enough with "but we want competition". That is absolutely false.
For over ten years this server has had to endure sweaty try-hards dictating to the rest of the server how the raid scene has to work. Because they want "competition". Yet any time actual competition has ever arisen through an alliance, a merger, etc. those efforts have been met with trolling on the forums, petitionquest, subterfuge, and whatever else the "metagame" that plays out on forums and in game entails.
The real competition is over on Red. Go for it. You want a raid target? Mobilize for it. Fight another guild for it. Train the hell out of everyone else. Steal the kill with a DPS group. Establish a defensive perimeter against PVP. Create tons of alts and COTH bots and ranger Trueshot strike squads. Batphone away. No more raid petitions ever, GMs! Work it all out in PVP. True, unadulterated competition. To the victors go the spoils! Lord all those shiny pixels in the faces of the defeated. Losers lick their wounds and try again next cycle. Make a secret alliance. Betray your allies in the final moments. More drama and competition than you could ever want!
See, their mouths should be slathering with drool over this. Right?
No, they don't want "competition". They want "competition" on their terms. Not actual competition. They need casuals to be jealous of their gear. They need petitionquest to lawyer around loopholes when they lose a target. And so the raid scene on Blue has stayed toxic and controlled by a minority for over TEN YEARS, so a handful of players can receive their validation and stroke their egos at the expense of the other 80% of the community.
Move the guilds who want real competition (if any) to Red. Let guilds who can work together in a rotation stay. No more raid petitions. No need for them. It's almost a no-brainer, really.
So why not? What's the real reason?
