1 day of 4 guilds going at it in a 20v20v20v20 the biggest losers lose 5 people that quit, a couple from the other guilds move over to the top guild that are happy to secure there guaranteed win next week, etc. Any guild interested in downing end game content that tells you differently is a liar.

Azrael tried this before Holocaust and wanted every guild to cap at 20 while they would bring 30. If you brought 25-30 they would bring 40. When Holocaust brings 60 they bring 5 and call them a zerg. They will always be unhappy and either stomp competition or give up. That dynamic alone screws up any chance of guilds capping with the chances of fluctuating around 30 players raiding at once.

Throw in not trusting other guild leaders on the server because of RMT history and loot councils and there is a need for a trust worthy guild to stay on top and keep the scum lords in check.

The alternative to Holocaust not having control is not 4 guilds doing 20v20v20v20. That is propaganda and false hopes that are used to discredit Holocaust.

The server can't tell Holocaust to stop recruiting. It has to happen naturally. This happens with a growing population. Holocaust will make this happen over time and it will provide the server with an environment that organically creates 2 big guilds.
2 big guilds really doesn't lead to much PvP, we need multiple smaller guilds for PvP. it will create alliances, betrayal, and sometimes teamwork to take on a common enemy. any game is far more interesting when you have multiple factions instead of just one. Honestly, high end PvP must have been boring until recently when fresh and suave got in the mix. Holo vs AZ all day everyday was getting stale. we need more guilds in the mix.
