The question is what are Omni/Rustle not doing? Clearly by not operating like A/A they don't get in trouble.
There is an established track record of Sirken and Rog being quite irritated by the behavior of the cutthroat raiding establishment, whatever guild(s) are occupying the niche at any moment in time. They want to see a healthier game at the end but the rabid competition for end game content has always driven the hardcore to play this game in a manner that effectively locks out the rest of the server. It's like a bunch of stingy toddlers hitting each other and throwing rocks at each other in the community daycare sandbox (Rog's box) when the rules are simply that people should behave like adults, not large man-children.
If A/A approached raiding in a more sane manner, they wouldn't have found themselves suspended for 33-50% of the potential raid days. The harder they compete the fewer pixels they get.

If the development staff actually didn't want the hardcore players around, they wouldn't be choking off loot just to retain those players longer, and they'd have enforced a rotation long ago. They'd also do more weekend repops rather than the 4am weekday ones.
From the available evidence I'd say they like a player base that's positively ravenous.
