When I said rotation I meant developer/GM enforced rotation, not discussion between the guilds.

They left not because of LDON, they left because of the constant needing to key up to access parts of the server you payed for, but couldn't get into UNLESS you were in a uber guild and happened to be on at the right time(s) to get keyed.
You miss a night and everyone progresses without you for days or weeks without you.
Sure, you could slip a FEW unkeyed people in the keyed zones, but if you happen to not get there early enough or a needed class shows, you sat around on your ass.
Then there's the 72 person raid/zone limits. You gotta have large guild sizes to be have reliable numbers to raid, but then there's nights when everyone logs on and again, you sit on your ass excluded.
It's one of the reasons I quit. I got tired of sitting out while the rest of my guild raided.
