I respectfully disagree. I normally try to avoid saying that to mods but in this case I'll make an exception!
Look at the single player events, for example. Some of the top level Tiers do indeed have participation restrictions but the lower Tiers don't and people can still play those. That's not the case this time. Smaller guilds are not being allowed to participate at all.
And I also take issue with your definition of "stable/healthy guild".
In order to qualify for this new Geonosis content, you need a guild of 50 members to have an average of 1.6 million GP each.
My guild currently has 45 active members. This pushes or required average up to just under 1.8 million.
So an active guild with 45 active members needs a higher average to qualify than a stagnant guild with inactive members who help bump the average up.
Heck, I kicked out a few inactive members just the other week. I wish I hadn't done so now; I should have checked their GP and kept the dead weight in the guild!
