Like those that left, tracked a bunch and won mobs against Forsaken/Asgard, and then didn't get their sleeper robe.
I was in Rampage for the last 3 months and I looted 24 Velious raid items in my short stay. They showered new guys in loot - because they were getting it all! Last Looted Date was a big deal that played a large factor in winning vulak and other items. The people who went down that track didn't get jack, because they gambled for more. I could have cared less about my last looted date and went for every 2nd best option with 10-20 hp less per slot and ended up way ahead for it.

The raid scene eventually boils down to 5-7 guys doing all of the tracking work while everyone else logs in for a kill. People burn out when they think their own guildies aren't doing enough. This mentality was magnified when FTE races started on both sides of A/A (long after rampage was gone.) On top of that the raid rules changed multiple times and they always seemed to come down when the other side was losing the most.
