I just feel for those casual raid guilds. I can think of acouple here on befallen, up to RoK they did their own thing at their own pace, but due to Tier setup, they really are struggling for whatever reason to get people to run T1-T2 b/c they can't get past Overking, VS, CoD, or whatever is preventing them.
The raiding community on befallen is sorta becoming consolidated. Take that that as you will, I personally like diversity and its sad to see these guilds struggling.
For the most part in T5 my guild dominated with 1 guild close behind us. But during those days if we weren't on our game on contested, we could see upward of 5 raid guilds attempting to form up for a mob. I miss, although couldn't handle anymore, the days of logging in at noon to kill Vox - out of nessecity to not have to deal with the other guilds during raid hours.
I dunno, just thinking outloud. I DON'T WANT A SERVER MERGE (everyone remembers what it was like to pull hurricanus those first few days after the first merge...*blows his brains out*

)
