Any guild on a server such as this one would have ended up being hated for the same reasons, had they been successful at consistently killing dragons.
One part of this game which no one in this thread has mentioned (maybe Tassiepants did, but I skimmed his novella) is that it takes gear upgrades to kill bigger and badder dragons and thus stay ahead of your competition who want the same pixels.
Because this isn't WoW (thank God), there is nothing to stop top guilds from trying to corner the market (dragons) in order to maximize the necessary, upgraded pixels which get awarded to the toons used to kill the bad ass dragons (in VP). In fact, the necessity for toons to have upgraded pixels to kill the bad ass dragons incentivizes the need to corner the market on dragon kills in order to (1) get there at all; to (2) get there first; and to (3) stay there.
TL;DR: If you don't understand how the machination of competition works to perpetuate success and failure and their epiphenomenal feelings of hatred, fear, respect, and so on, please join your local (pick a sport) league. It's just the way it is, unless you're a "principle of utility" fanatic, which almost no one is on this server.
