Oh, I agree the situation is quite unfortunate. I think neither guild should have been suspended, and any punishments should have been on an individual level.
"Should not" and "is not" are two entirely separate things. Ideally all punishments would be justified, but this is never possible in reality. This is like saying "everyone in jail deserves to be there."
Obviously the stakes are far lower here, but the principle holds all the same.

No, the principle doesn't hold. They have logs here, there are fraps, everything can be documented in a highly controlled environment. If every crime occurred between the same two gangs, on video camera, and within a 12-block radius, there wouldn't be any reason for an appeals process. They're not policing an entire country with a hundred thousand different laws, they're policing a few zones in a video game with 3 or 4 rules that warrant suspension. Unlike in the real world, certainty is not only possible, it should be requisite for such a large-scale punishment.
If you're not sure, you don't make the call for a guild-wide raid suspension. If you are sure, you don't change your mind just because you're being harassed.
