The devs are not gonna drop the way that they've designed things because it's been working for them just fine. They're not about to 'see the folly of their ways' because you threaten to take 'hundreds of players with you'.

You haven't even started on that content yet. Maybe you'll cleave through it with no problem. You'll have your G1-10 running and taking care of business no problem, down T5, T9,. and finally T13 in weeks after hitting 50. If you do, then you can start complaining. As it stands right now you're getting frustrated over something you haven't even experienced yet.

Why not take your massive guild and go start up a Private WoW server or FFXI server, because that sounds like what you want.
