I don't think Fay, VS, or Vox are end game mobs at this point. I've killed all three before. I'm level 60, geared(hate, non dragon kunark), and guilded. I prefer not to join TR and TMO. Many guilds like taken, BDA, VD, and others could take down trak and naggy- with friends or even as a guild for the most part. The problem is the poopsocking mentality of the two top raiding guilds. It's ugly right now and likely won't get any better. Are you suggesting a third guild join the cluster fark?

It is the nature of the beast man. In every facet of life, to expect competitive, motivated individuals put aside what they feel is in their best interest in favor of what is in your best interest is unrealistic. Maybe that is selfish, but that regard I guess we live in a selfish world. Just like the bums you pass on the street asking for money, the idea of giving handouts to people who haven't worked to earn it themselves I a generally unappealing proposition to most people. I'm not saying you're a bum, it was just a convenient analogy - what I am saying is that unless you put in the same amount of time and effort as the people in TMO and TR, it isn't realistic to expect to reap the same rewards they do.
I'm sure I'll get a bunch of "wow, this is just a video game" replies, but I tend to apply that same line of reasoning to every aspect of life, video game or not. If you want something that someone else also wants - you need to work harder and get a competitive edge to beat them out, otherwise you're going to get left in the dust.
On a similar topic - I have no problem with casual players who are happy with their casual status. It isn't for me to judge how other people enjoy the game. I don't think I'm better than anyone (well, gear/ability wise I do, but not in a general sense) because I put more time and effort in. If they draw the same enjoyment casually leveling their character up as I do from killing raid mobs, who am I to say they are wrong? There are a lot of guilds that casually raid and are more about the guild community than they are about the competition - guilds like VD and BDA. I have a ton of respect for those guilds and think some of the most dedicated and legit players I have ever met grace their ranks. However, that respect I have for them still doesn't mean I'm going to roll over and hand them any mobs - although I definitely welcome any and all competition
