Are static groups simply the now accepted reality for endgame progression?

Currently what I'm seeing in my current community is the officers are full darklight / titan weapons, while the other lv50 members are struggling to get any darklight and some are having trouble with garuda, but because of them not being in the little click of 8 people within the guild, the higher geared members are not helping them at all.

This current system is toxic to a community style of play and only allows people to pick 7 friends to play with threw all of endgame, why even have a guild system in-game if you only design content for 8 people. (Square raise the text cap srsly.)

This is nothing new, this happens in every single MMORPG, no matter what you do, there will always be clicks.
