You're only kidding yourself if you don't think the good players will end up being absorbed into Azrael or into an "alliance" in the name of Velious or something, thus leaving the casuals and "unskilleds" homeless and guildless like Hokuten.

the funny part of this whole situation is that sometimes these new guilds are truly new guilds, and leadership isn't 100% on what the fuck they are doing. Maybe they can't amass a large enough force to contest a spawn, and diplomacy is their only way to gear up and gain experience. If you have a solid [vital class here] with an every day, 6 hour day play schedule but your guild isn't able to keep another 17 people (of the right classes / skill / gear) on the same schedule.. welp. How long until that geared, skilled, experienced vital class gets tired of sitting around, hoping maybe they get enough people logged in for the right timers?
It's not on Azreal's shoulders if they are responsible for recruiting members from the so called 'feeder guilds' (of which the list is amusing for various reasons), but rather the potential failure of the smaller guild's leadership / core member morale after losing a LOT of spawn contests. No guild can currently compete that I am aware of. If Azreal doesn't do a bit of hand holding, there will only be one guild in the next few months. You need a sizable roster to compete, a roster larger than your raidforce in the event that people don't show. Calling literally every guild on the server a 'feeder guild' is laughable.
So what if Azreal is letting newcomers show up to some raids to see how to kill things. Maybe i'm wrong on this and a collection of those guilds are truly 'feeder guilds,' but mostly I suspect that the paranoia conspiracy neckbeard in forumquesters is in overtime. If people from the smaller guilds jump ship, well it's expected. How long is a guild of newbies going to last?
Smallguilds: SLAMDUNKATRON just got our first 50s this week (woot). We have many more 20s-30s members and a handful of 40s. We don't open recruit, and are not merging (flattered, but please stop asking). We are more than willing to discuss and work out plans for the future, mostly to begin with planar clears since literally everyone is wearing rags still aside from maybe 2-3 people.
