Alarti, TMO are the only people who BOTHER to compete on that level, not the only people who CAN compete on that level. Also, do you honestly think TMO are the only people who will be prepared for raids come Velious? There are at least two other guilds on the heels of TMO for Kunark content, why would we not be ready for Velious content?
What you are describing is the "trickle down" effect I mentioned in the post you quoted. What happens when no more trickling is required? All the guilds hit their proverbial "glass ceilings" and stagnate until the top leaves? That doesn't sound much different than the IB/TMO "transition".
A tiered socialistic system will allow for peaceful transitions of power, the #1 guild simply stops occupying its slot in the rotation and the rotations adjust dynamically based on member guilds while the PVE server remains about PVE challenges. But "peaceful" and "competition are in direct conflict with each other, I know. And so the lowest common denominator reigns.

Deajay, Currently TMO is the only guild who CAN compete on upper tier Velious raiding. Right now we are playing poorly because we don't care much and are severely bored. BDA and FE are playing at their best and still can't compete. Unless you change how you play you will not compete on that level. Can you get better, sure. Will you, who knows. Also, if you are comparing Kunark 32khp mobs with velious raiding you really have no idea whats going on.
Socialistic societies work best when there isn't scarcity. Right now raid targets are highly scarce based on demand. Velious will Decrease scarcity but it will definitely not eliminate it. I expect in velious you will find rotations in VP, on World dragons, and Trakanon, likely even innoruuk, naggy, vox and CT. I would definitely not expect it on the new content for quite a long time.
