I don't remember Prexus being that bad. KTF ran the rotation. IIRC, there were maybe 4 or 5 guilds tops in the rotation when I left for FV in 2001/2002ish.
I don't recall when it happened but around 2001/2002ish Stasis decided it would no longer respect rotations and everything went to hell.
My old RL friend was Stasis' raid leader (Crucible/Chrysalid) until he left for WoW and iirc they didn't reintroduce a rotation at all during his time.
Prior to server numbers being removed I think Prexus was boasting 1.5 to 2k people during Kunark and if a rotation could be managed than I am sure it could be done with the fraction of that number on P99.
All it takes is one guild to break the rotation.

This is somewhat of a tangent.
I was Frieza and I was an officer in Stasis during the time the rotations were broken. They were very well organized. They were not small. Stasis had originally intended (READ: Axiss and Myself) to open a discussion and issue an ultimatum that in 2-3 weeks any mob with over 4-5 guilds on the rotation would be formally disregarded by Stasis. Instead, Nasir jumped the gun and just did it (without consent of the officer base).
It was, frankly, stupid to wait over 17 weeks to kill VS. Rotations are very workable when they're small. Beyond that, it is unworkable and completely unfair to those who can devote more than a modicum of time to the mob. The very casuals can still see the high end content when the higher guilds move on.
