It is clear, blatant abuse of the system.
Lol that has literally never happened and it makes no sense. Mobs go FFA within class R at 3 hours.

No your right, three guilds used to exploit a rule allowing them to temporarily be skipped while locked out for a mob and kill the mob once they were no longer locked out.

Taken, Divnity, BDA got 6 out of 7 Traks before removing the rule once the list reached the first outside guild.

Example:

Rule is implemented that allow guilds to be skipped while locked out without being moved to the bottom of the list.

Taken is #1 for Trak
Divinity is #2 for Trak
BDA is #3 for Trak

Taken couldn't kill Trak because they were locked out.
Divinity kills Trak.
Rotation order remained unchanged.
Taken kills Trak.
Divinity is now #1 for Trak.
Divinity can't kill Trak because they are locked out.
BDA kills Trak.
Rotation order remains unchanged.
Divinity kills Trak.
BDA is now #1 for Trak.
BDA can't kill Trak because they are locked out.
Guild4 kills Trak
Rotation remains unchanged.
BDA kills Trak.

Rule is changed because Taken/Div/BDA are unhappy that the rotation moves too slowly.

Guild4 cannot kill Trak because they are locked out.
Guild4 is moved to the bottom of the rotation.

Thank you Chest Rockwell for teaching us all this valuable lesson, while not learning it yourself. It's pretty hilarious.
What i find funniest is that many class C posters have been 'end the rotation, its bullshit' for months.

And now that it is in danger of ending, they want to keep it as BDA is doing the ending.

Where are the old bounties for any guild that ended the rotation?

No the rotation was bullshit, because you have Class C capable guilds such as Taken and BDA in Class R hiding among fledgling guilds who genuinely need the restricted class protection. The rotation did plenty of good. It's a shame it's getting thrown away because it no longer suits the larger guilds.

I like the irony of it, they're encouraging the smaller guilds to be "ready for Velious" by pushing to alter the rotation so they can cap more pixels in the B Tier.

If the rotation folds, what's to stop "Class C" hitting the old "R" targets?

You seem to be advocating a rotation within R, albeit one without larger guilds. Yet, BDA/Taken/Divinity could have said fuck your rotation and taken majority of spawns for themselves. The rotation enabled some guilds to stay together and experience content they never would have seen otherwise

The whole class system is stupid, and its disintegration will be a rude awakening for some of these smaller guilds, who will find that their leisurely mobilization makes for zero raid kills, and whose better players will up and leave for other guilds.

That being said, the only reason to go to C as the system is currently set up is for VP. And our lack of VP keyed, active characters makes that an unattractive option (albeit one I personally disagree with).

They would still be designated class R.

Actually they would eat raid suspensions, the class C/R/FFA system is GM-enforced.

Swish is from red and doesn't understand our civilized... ways. Swish, consider guilds like BDA and Taken as level 60 characters who can't be PKed by other 60s. That's the class system for you.
