My thoughts exactly. Dude contradicted the fuck out of himself and doesn't even realize it lol. A/A is no different than any other guild on P99 they have a small core of hardcore supernerds that do 90% of the work and the warmbodies just show up to turn on auto attack and click a CH macro.
I've been in 2 major raid guilds on P99 and have an RL friend that's been in 2 different raid guilds than I have. This isn't an exaggeration. The VAST majority of the work involved in operating a successful raiding guild is handled by a very small group of people in pretty much every raid guild that exists. Everyone else (like it or not) is just filler. I put myself squarely in that category as well. Largely because I main a class that can't really help with pulls/FTE very much and isn't really vital to the raid's success as long as there's at least 1 shaman the extras don't add very much except spreading around the buff load.
Coincidentally the people that beat their chest and boast of their guilds accomplishments and look down from their high horse at the casual guilds and tell them they need to "earn it" in regards to pixels are mostly the filler types in A/A acting like they're somehow more deserving cause they showed up. It's all a big joke :P

It's like this in Eve too. You have the handful of people in the corp who do all the logistics and command the fleets, and then the 90% mouthbreathing casuals who often can't be counted on to even lock the right target up when it is broadcasted or follow the right anchor. But without the filler, no one goes anywhere.
All the leaders get is the pride of helping make something become something. It's not surprising how often they burn out.
