lol zerg guild... teams turns the server into....2 giant zerg guilds omg..
also, FFA means only ONE GUILD, the guild that can rule by right of might, gets the raid mob. No one should be given immunity because of their race and feel that they have equal rights to a raid mob. That's bullshit, if you can't beat the other guild for it than you don't get it. This is not blue 99 with a dash of red. It's mothafuckin red99.

Two (or three? Since you could always have a neutral team..) giant zerg guilds is better than one giant zerg guild and a whole bunch of small guilds plus unguilded people. When people organize under one enormous tag on day one, that gives them a big advantage over the many casual players who are likely unguilded, plus the small guilds who don't have the advantage of being part of a larger pre-established clique. On a teams server, the relative advantage of the team with the zerg guild in it is a lot smaller than on an FFA server.
Look at it this way. Say you form a zerg guild of 25 (unboxed) people, while the rest of the server consists of 100 people. Say that those 100 people split off evenly into each team, and so you have 50 people joining the good team, while 50 people go to the evil team. Now the good team outnumbers their only competitor (the evil team) by 3 to 2. This isn't great, sure, but the alternative is even worse. On an ffa server those 25 people outnumber unguilded people by 25 to 1, they'll surely outnumber small guilds by even more than 3 to 2, and if there's another zerg guild with comparable numbers, then it might as well be a teams server since the only meaningful difference is that the big guilds get to grief casual players more easily.
Sure, it's not great when someone is camping an item or engaging a raid boss and you can't kill them because they're on your team. But a small sacrifice to the end-game experience is worth it so that the server's population stays healthy.
