Look I'm not saying make Red Blue. All I'm saying is that is that even on Rallos Zek most guilds formed an alliance to take on the griefers (although as I understand it they maybe went a bit far and prohibited all world PvP). If you don't address griefing, you get Red's population, because no one likes being griefed. You can make all the arguments you want about how I'm wrong and how great being griefed is, but arguing the problem doesn't exist won't fix it or help Red's population.

Yeah, GMs sort of botched combating the grief on Red in the first week of release when they let it play out naturally on the 600 people playing there, then made rules consistently favoring those who enjoy grief, and even still, they only arbitrarily enforced those rules based on mood when legitimate offenses came up.
That's not even up for debate. That happened. GMs apparently simply won't just ban retards, so there's basically no behavior that will get you a lasting, forever punishment from the staff (despite being deserving of it). You can chop that up to having a jelly spine or just not caring. Take a wild guess who mirrors those sentiments. Every guild, ever.
Literally all that's left is a pro-grief population, in whatever latent or subverted form that takes.
