Everyone not in the 3 guilds suspended is under a glass ceiling imposed by the big 3 (especially one of them, you know who you are). You've eliminated most of the competition through monopoly and zerging. There's still a massive, massive number of players out there who aren't in those 3 guilds, have their pre-raid gear list complete, play 40 hours a week, and can hardly get any gear beyond HoT pieces without joining the elitists (if you don't think 40 hours/week is enough to 'deserve' good loot then you are the definition of an elitist, as you are clearly in a 'privileged' enough position to either not have a family, ignore your family, or not have a job).
Instances or server split (half the population gets their characters ported to a Blue clone) seem like the best options to me, but that just requires more work for the devs, which I don't really want to see either. Perhaps you can recruit an EZ server dev, bc they have a solid instance system.
Fundamentally, one person hit the nail on the head when they suggested that the number of level 60 'mouths to feed' are excessively high. We may just need less people on the server overall.
