Problem with going along with that, is if you get a Zerg guild with 2X the numbers of players than the rest of any guild on the server, its basically GG for the server, they get the content, every time, no contest.

You cant attempt a 25v45 raid content contest with a heavy xp loss. People will do it a couple of times, get burned and give up (which is what you want i guess). Each time people will get burned, the harder it will be to gather enough people to try to contest raid content the next time.

With no xp loss, the 25 players will probably get their asses handed to them, but at least they get to have fun attempting to do it, and the 45 side can at least have some opposition, which is what a pvp server is supposed to be about.

Heavy xp loss is a surefire recipe to get people bored and logging off the server. This is true through all levels of the game.
This is probably true, exp loss like that really would discourage pvp. I'm just trying to think of ways to deter bindrushing at max level, because judging by the rants forum it IS starting to happen a lot. Do you have any ideas?
