These types of comments and so many others like them seem to be coming from a lot of people who allowed TMO members access to their characters and/or accompanied them on raids. When I read them, I can only think of the following:
"Stockholm syndrome, or capture–bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending them. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness."
I'm guilty of letting an officer of the guild I'm in have access to my character to help the guild mobilize when I'm not available, but this was always internal to the guild. Anyone allowing someone external to their guild access to their character has to be gaining some form of recompense. I was around for the inception of the A-Team and it was spearheaded by some of the least sociable and greedy players on the server. Some prominent members spend days in camps solo'n items to sell to turn around and pay TMO to tag along on raids and loot rots.
While TMO single handedly ruins the raid scene, people who feed their incessant desire for plat are just as much to blame for the situation this server finds itself. Very strange for a guild that masquerades as a soloist haven bankrolls the biggest raid guild on the server to scoop up it's garbage.
