Green = Blue's demise?

I have heard a few people say getting epics on Green server (when epics get introduced) will be harder then getting them on blue. Why is that? Are the epic mobs rarer spawns or are they tougher to beat for some reason? I would really want my druid and cleric epics on green so wondering if I need to be in a stronger guild or if a family style guild can get them like they can on blue.

Right now, the ratio of epic:non-epic on green is 0:2600. When Kunark drops, you now have hundreds of people with the same goal in mind - get 60, get epic. Whether it’s a race, a marathon, or “just got lucky and scored an earth staff” types, there is now a competition that doesn’t exist on blue, though it once did @ Kunark release.

With a finite timespan on green, many might feel the need to complete epics (etc.) within the 3-year lifespan of the server.

TL;DR: increase in volume; decrease in surface area.
