The issues with cliquey-ness are pretty standard on here. When I raided in a now defunct self-proclaimed "casual raiding guild," it was really bad. Unless you sat in TS for hours each night, cracked the best jokes, and cozied up to the officers, no one gave a shit about you or wanted to help you. And the pixel craze was pretty bad too. The humble bragging was so bad. I remember there was one member who once made a comment about how his bags were so full of useful clickies that he wouldn't loot anything worth less than 30k. While the rest of us had a hooded black cloak as our most valuable item. And in hindsight, all our rarely-obtained raid loot was loot counciled to one of the excessively large officer crew. At the time I was on board and drinking the koolaid but, looking back, fudge that.
I think the pixel/ plat craze is just too strong on this server because it's so sparse.

That's my impression of it too. Pretty much how I feel about it, and it's not in my personality to try to "cozy" up to people to liken the chance I might get stuffs. I don't do it IRL, and I won't do it to get pixels either.
I know a guy that plays a shaman on this server, he's been here for 3-4 years at least. He never joined a guild, and basically spent tons of time farming to get plats to buy his last piece of his epic from a MQ, he bought torpor, he basically spent YEARS grinding to get what a guild probably could have gotten him faster. He did it though, because he dislikes the politics in guilds so much that he refused to join one.
I totally get why he did it this way, and respect the fact he found a way to get what he wants without having to sacrifice his own personal code of values. I have a little bit of me that is like him, but I also like to group up and have fun times in dungeons etc. I like solo stuff, but grouping is great too. I don't think I could go full-maverick like this guy has done though.
