Maybe I seem jaded, but I can't take any of the posts that say "We can change if the guilds work together!" seriously.
Top raiding guild does not care about the raid scene changing from what it is. There is no benefit for them to share mobs with the rest of the server. Maybe they're greedy, but it's a fricken computer game. They aren't out waving steak dinners in front of homeless people; it is a game. Staff does not care about the raid scene changing from what it is. Maybe when they are done with creating content, they will take more interest in player raid change ideas on the server, but I'm not betting on it. The goal of the project is to create a Classic EverQuest server, not provide the highest possible fun experience for players. Hence a hands off approach on dealing with the players unless someone is exploiting or doing something detrimental to the box. I mean they invented non-classic features such as variance and FTE shouts to be able to be more hands off. With the understanding that the staff's primary goal is to "create" and not "regulate" a server and that the top guild who controls the raid content is not interested in change in the raid scene, everyone should realize that things are not changing on this server in terms of things like enforced rotations, etc. Until Zeelot gives the big stamp of approval on some server wide raid change or some guild gains and never loses momentum while poaching raid targets away (right...ha), we are playing with the same status quo. While this is a emulated server, the player base as a majority has chosen to be a lot more hardcore than the majority that was on live, and I suppose that's just the type of diehard players a 14 year old game attracts or the effect of Kunark being out longer than both Kunark and Velious existed on live. Maybe we can reassess when Velious is out for six months and see if anything has changed.

Rotations have happened in the past and the sky rotation is a wonderful thing. I don't want to rehash any old disputes between guilds the past is in the past, if you are caught up on the past how do you expect to move forward has always been my motto. One guild isn't monopolizing ALL content or else mid tier guilds would never get raid targets, which they do. All that would have to happen is we would have to try and trying out new things can be difficult I understand that. Its not impossible though improbable because all parties involved have to want to do it. Its just me throwing around another idea whats the harm in that?

The devs chose this ruleset and TMO adapted. It will always be like this until the devs make a change or until the server bands together or something but realistically the only people that care enough to dump hundreds of hours a week into tracking and mobilizing at every single hour of the day is TMO. I'm not sure if that shows how awesome they are or if it's kinda sad.

It was the rank and file (me, elethia, xasten, and a few others) that changed Zeelot's decision to break the retarded deal that was made. Pretty sure every time Xeli made a deal on TMO's behalf it was horrible for TMO, but we stuck with them every time (might not have liked it or wanted to, but we did). Anyhow, you can keep trying to bash TMO for upholding their deals.

I tried several times to get other guilds to join in the raid scene, back before IB left, and every time it was met with "OH hell yea, that sounds awesome" and those guilds did absolutely nothing to actually join in. It's quite clear that none of the other guilds want to put any effort into actually getting targets. You simply want to show up to a predetermined time to take out a predetermined target and acquire loot. You all should be thanking TMO that IB left so you could finally openly bitch and moan about the raid scene and how only one guild is dominating it. If it wasn't for TMO, you'd still be happy farming planar alt gear.
