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

I think competition meant pushing their own members to put in more effort and play better.

But they didn't have to.

Now you got Rogean Obama system in and... boy who cares about effort now.

I admit I'm fairly new to the raiding scene here but I just don't understand this idea of how raiding is so easy now. 66% of the spawns are no easier than before, less variance but also no camping at spawnpoints. 33% more mobs (that didn't exist before the change) are available for the other 10+ guilds 1000+ people. And you still have to mobilize and kill the mob in a reasonable amount of time. I log in everyday and have yet to have these pixels rain down on me. Yes, theoretically an R only guild member could get bis .......in say 10 years of constant raiding. The new system just gives a casual (normal) player a sliver of a chance of item X., as opposed to 0 chance before.
