Some of things you mention here was the same on live in the uber guilds. I raided in one of the top guilds and before I quit we had to have bat phones / get up at 3am often, were required to be online 30 hours per week minimum, log into other peoples accounts and box them if they were not able to be online, often we were boxing 2 or 3 paid accounts in breach of the EULA on a regular basis to take down targets. Loot was denied to most people who had a job simply because they had a job and there was no way for them to beat out others on loot rights.
The main difference on this server is the level of discourtesy and anti-social behavior. We had a rants and flames forum for our server and it never reached the level of digusting it reaches here. In game in /ooc or /shout the disrespect between guilds is over the top and would have gotten you banned on live.
I think the main difference here is because of a lack of staff and because people have been able to get away with things that were not tolerated on live they've gone downhill over a long period of time and the toxicity has become concentrated to a point its embarrassing to read - considering the majority of the people doing this are grown up men likely with children and families and ex-bosses.
