But I gotta be honest... the competition was getting hot so rather than be overthrown by another alliance/guild they take the easy way out and just quit. "We went out on top." makes you feel good doesn't it? Would the guild have been able to continue it's rein another 6 months? Doubtful.
Probably not.

Tough to keep staring at a wall for 16 hours to poopsock a mob you've already killed solo 20+ times, for gear you don't need because you've already beaten every mob in game 5+ times.

It will be the same deal with most guilds on this server. Nothing is coming in the future, Velious is all there is. Once the next guild has killed Tunare, and Sontalak, and Zlandicar, and AoW, and Tunare, and 10th Ring War and Vulak 5-10-15-20 times, the people waking up at 3 AM for Batphones and those tracking from sunrise to sunset will stop, and figure out going hard like that isn't worth it and they'll just quit.

It was a similar situation to what we faced on the Mac server. The content was locked for 10 years and due to bugs, archaic mechanics and low population on the server, it steadily progressed through PoP to EPs and eventually PoTime. Once everything but Quarm was beaten, we started hemorrhaging members. Those who stuck around, only stuck around to raid with Guildies/Friends. It's a lot more appetizing to do this twice a week from 8:30-10 or 11. Rather than responding to 25-30 Batphones throughout each week at ungodly hours.
