Do you really think the recent AoW server first was a huge zerg of nobody paying attention? The toughest mob in the game sets the baseline for what you need to bring to the table as a progression guild, not the mean or average difficulty of raids. So now you've built a 50+ man raid force that is needed to take out the toughest mob in the game, you're supposed to tell half of those same people not to bother showing up for a raid that takes 25? That's retarded.

The only thing hard about EQ raiding is finding the time to get keyed, the actual mechanics involved are more basic than normal level WoW raiding. Your cutting edge "progression guild" isn't like a bunch of Navy SEALs. This content has been done hundreds of thousands of times on other boxes, by the very people who are doing it on this one, for the ten thousandth time.
Nihilum did VP with 40-50+ because this online world has become their cardboard box home that they have to protect at all costs. Those dragons were easy with ~20. Empire is just the extension of the same policies. Someday, someone will do AoW with 33, and it will be on the blue server. Meanwhile, Empire will continue to hemorrhage players and recruit even more as people realize that no amount of pixels makes up for the abrasive personalities that dominate your guild chat.
You can play this game however you want, but it won't change the fact that the developer of this box considers you the short bus crew and the MMO industry in general continues to develop systems that prevent this mentality from corrupting upcoming releases.
