I'm sorry but a guild that can field 45 people for a CT attempt less than a week before the guild leadership rage quits and runs back to EQ live so they can have uncontested named mobs is not in trouble from anything other than that leadership.
This guild had a LOT of potential but it seems the leadership wasn't up to the task of actually having to compete. You expected to walk in here after just barely getting most of your members past 46 and take any mobs you wanted against guilds like IB/Div who have been here since the server started basically. All of this while never punishing members who weren't following orders, jumping around between raid targets instead of picking one to poop sock, and so on.

Its more then just the griefing. Bum, Auena, and I are all odler with jobs and kids and other real life commitments that we pretty much put on hold for a couple of months to attempt to raid here. I can't speak for them, but from my point of view it was more than just the griefing. I was sick of waking up at 3am to clear something, only to have a group of 20 year-old unemployed kids who are on 24/7 come and gank a mob with the specific purpose of fucking with us. If we could have set raid times, or the other guilds would act with any sort of ethics or morality, then we would not be having this discussion.
Divinity thinks it was funny to train our raids in hate while we were AFK waiting for inny. IB thinks its funny to wait until we zone up onto a island in sky just to pull the mob 2 minutes after we get there. Our options were either to do the same, or quit. Personally I am not interested in lowering my standards to the scumbag level, so I quit playing on p99.
There is no new content due out for a long time to allow us to do much more than farm hate/fear armor droppers and maybe island 1/2 of sky, with the occasional (i.e. if we are lucky) god in there.
Also, as the guy who has done most of kunark development to date, its more like a year + off then the 4-6 months people keep touting. I have done the mobs for 11 of the 30 zones, and it has taken me 3 months of 5+ hours a day to do just that. That is JUST the mobs, no pathing, no loot, no quests, no scripts. Now other people are supposed to do all those other things, but most of them are 4-5 zones behind me. Add that all in, with the fact that the zones will need to be beta tested for a few months.. you are talking early 2011 optimistically
