Not really sure quitters ought compete D: ^^My posts addressed OPs question. Red certainly caters to a variety of audiences. There are peeps there for the classic (me!) peeps there for competition, peeps there for loots, peeps there for alts and peeps there to be annoying among other things.
I've only been there 2 months, but fail to understand those who bemoan a lack of competition while refusing to compete themselves. Having a behemoth like Empire as an adversary is a much more challenging and exciting adversary than a bunch of smaller guilds you can steam roll. Those who refuse to take up the fight have already lost it. Empire's dominance is not immutable. It will just require tremendous, sustained and coordinated effort to unseat ^^

I think you drastically underestimate the futility of attempting to compete against a massive zerg that's collecting free Velious raid pixels every day that goes by. Do you really think any other guild with their smattering of Kunark raid gear (at best) is going to compete? Everyone that's geared is already in Empire. Many guilds have tried and history has shown its nearly impossible. Only way Empire loses #1 spot (By a HUGE margin) is if the leadership quits playing and they fall apart from the inside OR get bant for RMT. That's the only reason Nihilum isn't still dominating right now. But in either of those cases a new juggernaut will just emerge in their place. Red99 will always be a 1 guild playground unless theres a wipe or somehow the server pop magically doubles or some other equally unlikely event.
