Suppose that TMO comes back and agrees to this. Cool, we still have to track everything and compete against one of FE/IB and TMO. In other words 10% of the effort will go to killing the mobs, 90% will go to tracking/batphoning/zerging etc instead of 5%/95%.
The real problems here are variance and overcrowding. The real solutions are repops and tokens. Everyone can compete and keep score on whokilledit, and the casuals can kill a few mobs each week with tokens. Everyone wins.
I know Rogean wants everyone to just play nice, but he has to create rules where that's possible.

With TMO back, you might have to renegotiate the agreement to skip out on 2 spawns after killing one for non VP or something like that. I'm sure there are ways to work this out without going back to the days of needing alts camped at every boss spawn. Maintaining some semblance of classicness is best. Raid tokens aren't very classic at all. Server repops with full boss repop is very classic.
And I suspect that after a month or two of the current agreement, the raid environment would improve greatly. The shitbags who only live to deprive others of loot would go somewhere else, as they would no longer be getting their daily fix of opponent tears. This would lead to a more friendly population, which would lead to better and more friendly competition, which leads to an even more friendly competition. Of course, maybe I'm just too much of an optimist. Maybe we'll always be stuck with people who only get joy from the suffering of others. But maybe that is true, and this episode has taught the decent people who surround and support these sociopathic bottomdwellers that they shouldn't align themselves with such people.
