What happened to all of the guilds on Blue, and what is Fuse?

Ah yes, the ol' cycle:

Guild 1 gets some raid targets
Guild 2 attempts to compete
Guild 2 realizes its a numbers meta
Guild 2 merges or partners with Guild 3
Guild 2/3 gets some raid targets
Guild 1 makes fun of them for being a zerg
Guild 1 realizes its a numbers meta
Guild 1 merges or partners with Guild 4
Guild 2/3 makes fun of them for being a zerg
.

.
etc

How can it possibly be a numbers meta, when you have 10 people doing all the work, while the other 110 sit and soak DKP?

Seems like Guild 2 wanted to MAKE it a numbers meta.

Just in case you weren't being intentionally obtuse...

Because if you need X of Y class to FTE and successfully kill a raid target, what are you going to be able to more quickly get that bare minimum class composition (and thus FTE faster) with?

100 available casual-hardcore raiders

• 50% of which can log in within 30 seconds of spawn
• 20% of which can log in within 60 seconds of spawn,
• 10% of which can log in within 90 seconds of spawn, etc.

50 available hardcore raiders

• 75% of which can log in within 30 seconds of spawn
• 15% of which can log in within 60 seconds of spawn
• 5% of which can log in within 90 seconds of spawn, etc.

Casual-hardcore guild has 50 players logged in at 30 seconds
Hardcore guild has 45 players logged in at 60 seconds

It's all about who can reach critical mass the quickest... and that is a numbers game, my friend. If you don't have the responsiveness because you don't have the same percentage of try-hards chained to the computer, you can't tell people to change their lives, quit their jobs, ignore their families to be ready to log in at any given point in time -- you compensate with numbers.
