Why are all the guilds merging? More consequences of forced raid agreement?

[Velerin]

Hah, competition? Was it all about cblocking? I really don't get how adding additional raid mobs (no one lost any mobs) bothers so many people.
These additional mobs are rotated between a huge group of casuals (who still play >4 hours a day, haha "casual"). There's no raining free pixels for anyone. Now if you're not in a 24/7 guild you have a tiny chance/hope for a particular item, though you're still sharing with a huge group of people.
"Class C" guilds lost no mobs (I think they gained some with the additional FFA spawns?). Why so hurt? And now these merges? I'm a casual, don't really care about pixels (though love the fact I get to see a dragon or two). If I had no job and was rich I might try the class C lifestyle for funs for a little while though I'm sure it'd burn me out fast.
Wouldn't it be more fun and competitive to break into smaller guilds? How competitive are the class C spawns now with only 2 guilds? That seems like more of a rotation than anything going on in Class R. Is this all just for bigger forces for Velious? If there's no competition in Class C, don't we have to change the name?
