Why does Class C

If that was the intent, the raid policy failed utterly. Instead it's had the opposite effect. Class R became class "Refuge" for guilds that can't compete with TMO. They avoid getting flagged as class C like a plague. IB seems like the only one who tries. In effect, TMO and IB no longer have to beat 9 or 10 other guilds to get most of their kills; now they only have to beat 1.

The main effects of the class system seem to have been to a) prevent most guilds from working with each other or significantly helping each other, and b) to cause the second-tier guilds to start disliking and distrusting each other instead of focusing all of their hate solely on TMO.
