Agreed but its not exactly the same comparison to today. Primarily cause TMO was full of mostly shitheads with (very) few cool ppl. Rampage in my experience is full of mostly cool ppl with a few shitheads but that happens with almost any guild. So that's difference number 1. Difference number 2 is when TMO dominated the server they literally controlled every raid target in the game. With Velious out there's simply too many targets for 1 guild to get them all. Rampage gives basically 0 fucks about almost all Kunark targets from what I've seen. There's also several Velious targets they basically never touch. Again not really the same situation as TMO. But while we're bashing TMO did you somehow forget the leadership of the FA alliance that you're a part of is a bunch of ex-TMO clowns?

When IB folded and mostly rmt'ed off the server, a good chunk of those people that stayed rolled into TMO. When IB was reformed those people came back out TMO. As TMO folded yet even more members jumped ship onto IB (then rolled into Rampage) So maybe 1/3 to 1/2 or something of rampage is ex-TMO, maybe reasonable to say?
Right now taken benefits with northwing loot that is now available to them, sleepers tomb, and a smaller raid force pools to get loot that FA(T) was getting. Rampage benefits as it probably knocked FA from killing AoW effectively, CT maybe, other FA(T) targets maybe due to smaller pool of raid people availability. BDA benefits because now they will have an uncontested VP soon, and other targets in kunark they went after against taken, due to how spread out higher priority targets have gotten.
But lets look out a possible scenario a bit out further. FA is repeatedly crushed and looses. Kicked out of northwing and all other high end targets, and rampage wins. There won't be a need for taken anymore, they can do all this stuff on their own already. If there is nobody to contest mobs from rampage, then they can just hold off and kill them at their own leisure, aka how TMO rolled with VP locked as their own. I wouldn't be surprised if rampage starts showing up in VP/sev/trak/VS, because nobody is going to steal that hard stuff from them. So now taken will probably roll back onto old kunark targets/vp. Some assemblage of Forsaken/Asgard will also be rolling back onto old kunark targets/vp. Honestly that is a fuck ton of mess of everyone back in kunark, and its bad for everyone that enjoys raiding.
