Seems obvious enough to me that most the players who want to raid are going to join raiding guilds. That's hardly rocket science. You'll get a minority who linger in other guilds for whatever reason (role-play, friends, etc) but mostly in open raids you're going get folks looking to augment their normal drops, or gear up alts, or folks from second-tier raid guilds that don't always win. Take myself as an example: I don't join big raiding guilds because I don't care for raiding. There are quite a few open raids on "Blue." Number of them I've attended in recent memory: Zero--because, again, I don't care for raiding in the first place. In other words, looks like your event's working as intended. When you host or attend an open event the best thing you can do is treat it like "neutral territory" and ignore whatever guild tags you see.
