Because you didn't need them? Because it's anticompetitive and bad for the server? Because you were the two biggest guilds on the server?

That killed the momentum. The thrill seekers moved on to other things for their dopamine fix.

Then the schisms came. Splinter guilds like Gravity and Get Off My Lawn were formed.

And the funny thing is, during any of this time or during the period where Vanquish was a shadow of its former self, I never would have considered Kittens as the #2 guild on this server. That's just hilarious. A guild surviving on an average of about one raid mob per quake would never qualify as #2.

Bag limits kept Riot on life support. Something that had never been seen before nor seen again. A special rule for one particular time...hmmm...

Without that bullshit they would have lost their most dedicated raiders and would have been put in the ground where they belonged.

Must be nice to have friends in the Green Title Syndicate.

Hurricanes are destructive to communities. Green pieces of paper are used to rebuild those communities. So, okay, agreed.

GMs literally changed the meta because you were killing the raid scene on the server with the move.
A move that previous meta changes contributed towards. With fingers on the pulse of the server, that might not have happened, at least not when it did. If this meta change came sooner, it would have helped prevent the very problem you're up in arms about. Rather than lament and rail incessantly about that, those who were hindered by the meta change simply adapted.

Even so, no one, including myself, is really opposed to the efforts being made to spread out the dragon wealth and inject competitive spirit into raids.

My preferences lean more towards the camp meta because racing is problematic and not classic but, at the end of the day, it's not the end of the world. Pixels aren't more important than the community and certainly aren't worth berating others over.

Lets reinstate bag limits for <Fuse> so the rest of the server can get some pixels.

Blah blah blah blah. Jeez, it's so insufferable. You challenged my understanding of the situation just like a piece of paper challenges a hurricane. You guys combined out of cowardice. You are bringing the LARGEST raid responses at a time when the server is at its smallest. GMs literally changed the meta because you were killing the raid scene on the server with the move. It was anticompetitive and pathetic.
Bit ironic that your making arguments talking about things being negative for the server and other players, yet you're interacting with people like this (and have interacted negatively with people in game...and you were in Vanquish lol). You don't seem like a very positive presence. In fact, for the most part this thread was pretty lowkey and not inflammatory until you started posting frequently in it.

We could have had this had Gravity and Sanctum come to an agreement. Unfortunately, they didnt want #K1C1. It went up for vote and it failed, because Sanctum didnt support Gravity's proposal. So here we are and everyone involved gets what they deserve.
