FTE is Fing stupid

Also, having a large guild (zerg) with no variance (more classic system) is still an advantage. Ever seen TMO mobilize and kill 2-3 raid targets at once? I have (even while other guilds mobilized)

Unless you're referring to a rotation (classic system) then you can't very well lose mobs can you? because they're all given to you freely.

TMO closing recruiting at present doesn't mean anything. They already have the numbers; as soon as they don't need them or competition hikes up, they'll open recruiting. The point is that with a different system, they may be enticed to close recruiting and not re-open even despite competition.

And yes, having a large guild with no variance would still be an advantage in some respects. But having a large guild with no variance means you're left hoping for FTE with 3 other guilds. Sure, with more people, your odds might be marginally better of getting FTE. But you also have to share loot with a lot more people. I also don't think multiple targets at once is going to be an issue big enough to warrant massive guild size. That will be an exception, not the rule. In a system like that, smaller numbers make a lot more sense.

I mean ultimately, absorbing and merging into a mega-guild that can dominate everything makes sense until you can't get everything. The fix for P99 is a system that ensures one guild can't get enough to make it worth it.

I doubt even TMO likes being alone at the top. The server would be a lot better off with a competitive system that ensures parity.
