If someone presented that as *an actual design for a game* they would be drummed out of the business.

I agree with your post in general. I want to respond to this specific part by pointing out that Everquest was a deeply-flawed game even when it was new. With the passage of years it's thoroughly obsolete in terms of both technology and base design. I like enough about this game to consider my time here well-spent, but I never think of EQ as perfect.
Those second-tier guilds don't merge on their way to the top because they don't want to be at the top. They just want to see the content now and then. I don't even raid and I understand that much. Unfortunately, such a mindset works better in newer games that have measures in place to prevent a single entity from monopolizing everything. Hopefully the parties involved can correct that problem on their own.
For my part, I'll continue putzing around in lesser content (which is a very good description of how I play, actually). It works for me. Maybe some day I'll find a guild of folks content to do the same.
