I'll use the same argument that Aftermath used against Kittens and others for so long -- Put in the work, make the effort, show up to compete. Aftermath has the numbers to compete, they're just used to getting their way so much that they don't know how to deal with competition anymore.

The argument was also valid: AG put in work, made the effort, showed up, and won. Same for PS.

It was also made in the era when a 5-10 man pull team could carry a guild, and casual guilds (like AG, PS) could win FTE/snipe dropped pulls, and smaller guilds (Core) could do low man content. Zerging helped 24/7 coverage, but diminishing returns bit for anything over a minimal kill force.

The rooting of dragons has clearly changed the meta for some targets - mostly the NToV inner ring - and it encourages zerging far beyond 24/7 coverage and far beyond a minimal kill force.

As long as you can field more people than your competition, you can engage with more mobs/guards up and effectively have uncontested kills. That was never the case during zone line pulls.

There's always a summer lull and Riot's 421 raiders has clearly given them the advantage over us.
