Guild Status / Politics - Returning Player

[Sumdyar_VZ]

Saw the release of Velious in August, myself and a few friends are interested in playing again.

I'm curious as to what the current politics are like.

- Is there actually competition for raid targets, or is there just one super zergy guild that dominates them all?
- If not, how many raiding guilds are there?
- Do raid mobs still respawn on an exact timer, or is it now like live with the +/- X amount of hours.
- Are there any known entire guilds returning for Velious?

Also, non-guild related:

- I was told that resists were sorta fucked a few months ago. (Tash/Malo always landing even with insane MR, which allowed roots and even blinds to land easily afterwards), is this still the case?

Thanks!
