You do understand that just because you put "You do understand" in front of something that doesn't make it true? Rotations would mean no more "competition", and that "competition" is the root of all petitions. Once the rotations were in place they would require virtually no GM effort whatsoever.

And, as I have mentioned before, they could require even less effort if the staff made the players police themselves. For instance, the guild that currently has ToV for the week could be responsible for observing whatever "gatekeeper" mob is needed to let a new guild join the rotation.

And finally I'll remind you that I've been asking how someone so smart could fail to come up with even a single viable alternative to the current system. And you keep failing to suggest even one.

Either the current system is perfect ([You must be logged in to view images.

He DID suggest a viable alternative - root the raid mobs.

Yes please kill Lord Feshlak when rooted, without AAs, after clearing 1-2 hours of trash per dragon. It's as if some people never raided here.

What was it you said earlier?

Oh yes, I believe it was 'get fukt'.

Enjoy your rooted raid bosses, and get fukt.

No, it's based on that AG and Core didn't want a rotation either when it was posted by Braknar. Which is really the majority of guilds that care to try to compete. BG/PS I'm not sure on. But I think the sentiment there is that they just want to be able to viably go for a few targets a week. The other guilds, well honestly I don't think they care too much about top end bosses. They're content mostly just doing content like HoT, West ToV, Kael arena, plate house, north flurries, etc.

They should randomly delete players over level 50 entering TOV. it solves the TOV problem by making it far less desirable of a place to go, and solves the over saturation of higher leveled players, too.

I'm fucking genius. Give me my GM account w/e.

Another example being why isn't COTH allowed in VP? A lot of these rules...no one even knows why they exist any more. They just are...because?

P.S. If "most ot the server doesn't want rotations", why have we had a very successful one for years in Sky?

Because no one cares enough about Sky to complain. Very different situation with TOV

Ultimately I reject the whole "the game itself doesn't matter" mentality. We are here to play game, that's the entire point. And unless I'm mistaken the purpose of the whoie project is to enable just that: lots of people getting together to play a fun old game.

Rotations enable far more people to play the game: they let P99 do what it does better. And you know what having them, for one zone, would cost? Far, far less headaches for the staff and the "competitors' on this server having to "compete" PvE style ... like people did back on live.
