We are trying to recreate the classic experience, not recreate classic live. The entire idea is to make a server we love to play on that is better than the live one. I believe guildwars should be mandatory for raiding guilds. My reasoning is this, we have all seen how easily rotations are broken as well as people bending the rules, so why not make it more fair for people to have a chance at redemption by fighting for it. If you want to experience the content, you shouldn't have it handed to you. Sooner or later keeping this a pure blue server will be boring for a lot of people. We have already seen the content once for a majority of us. So either we make mandatory guildwars for disputes that last a meaningful time period, or we just hold each others hand and quit after we get burnt out. I for one would rather choose the first option. There are several ways to implement guildwars and warring.
First, guildwars could be mandatory for all guilds that raid and the pvp style of such war could be +-5 lvls which would make things a lot more fair than a majority of other pvp games.
If this seems like you are being forced to compete instead of abuse a system by camping people then you could always make any disputes that occur via petitioning be met with guildwars for a certain period of days.
If that is not good enough then just have the /guildwar command and enjoy as people talk crap and whine about how pvp is full of haters. There is nothing you can do, but at least having the option would be fun.
