TR wanted the competition, so they got it. Competing in this case means being the first to engage, so the winning strategy is to be ready to engage the mob before your competition does.
TR corners the market on mobilization. They know this, the server knows this. Bat phone. Ability to log in at 3am as if they don't have to go to work the next morning. They define this as "wanting it bad enough."
How do you compete against that? Well, you simply take their ability to mobilize out of the equation by poopsocking at the spawn point, as we see time and time again. That forces them to compete on that level, forcing the poopsocking escalation. And also kinda makes them complain that the one key advantage they have is being circumvented. Now "wanting it bad enough" means who is willing to sit logged in with a raid force for days at a time.
So, the way I see it, TR created this situation by inviting competition, assuming the opposition was actually going to try to compete where TR had the advantage (i.e. mobilization), and instead, to their own detriment, having the opposition eliminate that advantage and instead "playing to win." And now it sucks for everyone involved because it was never about "who can mobilize faster?", it was only about "who gets the Trak kill, whatever it takes?"
