I would also add that a large part of things is growing and progressing as a guild. There have literally been dozens of guilds that tried to grow through the raid scene only to smash against that ceiling whereas the more established guilds had years of infrastructure and knowledge built up that allowed them to maintain whatever level of content they were comfortable chasing.
P99 does not allow for a guild to grow and fully experience the server, period. Guilds either have to be ok with doing scraps / shitty planar clears, or they have to adopt the soul crushing methods that A/A have made commonplace, there is no middle ground. This is why guilds die, or get absorbed to fuel the infernal machines of Awakened and Aftermath which is just a revolving door of warm bodies that allows them to tread water at the top of this cesspool.
I took BDA to Phinny because I wanted my guild to grow and flourish, not to watch people quit because the raid scene was toxic. Instancing content or sharing is the only way, and we know A/A can't share because they won't ever be forced to and because the entire thing would fall apart without loot to fuel the machine.
