I'd wind my neck in on this if Velious was in May, but isn't... so I'm going to absolutely agree. Would it hurt for VP keyed guilds such as BDA/Taken to give C a try?
You know... to be better prepared as a raid force for Velious when it lands in August? Where have I heard that before?

Speaking as an individual who is almost three years retired from raiding/playing this game, why would this really benefit BDA/Taken? There are dozens of retired BDA players who have been geared up then stopped playing the game and I'm sure the same thing is true with Taken. These individuals, at least in BDA, have killed pretty much every mob in the game, including many in VP. Now, assuming that at least half of those retired, experienced, geared individuals come back for Velious when it drops, BDA's raidforce will likely near 100 for any given mob. No mob in Kunark requires even 1/3 of that amount of raiders.
Many of us retired BDA have already been through the competitive style of raiding that is now considered class C since the class system was enacted. Especially those of us who stuck around after the TMO-BDA competitions of 2012 and subsequent FE split. Now I don't even pretend to speak for the guild in which I am tagged, considering I probably barely know 1/5 of the active raiders at this point, but it stands to reason that gearing up our current memberbase and not burning them out before Velious is the best possible strategy.
But what do I know, I'm just another armchair general who enjoys thinking about this kind of thing.
