If you want your pixels, there's nothing stopping you from spending a tour of duty in one of the "A" guilds. Both those guilds get pixels and neither of them could be described as exclusive. They can't afford to be exclusive because they continually need to recruit people to replace personnel losses due to burnout. Spend six months or whatever getting a decent quantity of high-end pixels, then jump back down to whatever second- or third-rate guild you came from if that's what floats your boat. I don't see a lot of this in practice because most the folks who creep up to the high end tend to develop the Pixel Sickness in a bad way and end up pushing ("I really need that 3rd alt decked out!") till they burn out completely and quit (meaning in many cases they never really use those pixels they worked so hard for), but it's certainly possible.
If you want to experience the raid content, do so someplace else. None of the top guilds or potential contenders on P1999 have serious interest in doing that. It's just about the pixels. Stick a second-tier guild in North Temple Veeshan with no competition and it's the same, they just pull to the zone-in or some other similar location anyway. Nobody crawls through the entire thing.
