I think sub 80 mil guilds are missing the point. You know the requirement now - get out there and start recruiting. Join an alliance that can help you fill empty slots with higher GP rosters. Guilds are meant to grow and to grow you have to actively seek out other rosters. We typically leave at least one slot open so that we can review people that are looking to join in the fun.
Its exactly what we did to get to a point of being able to do HSTR. We needed some help to kick start the efforts, now we easily kill the raid with no help from our sister guild. If you have a solid core, you will find a way to make it work. Some people enjoy helping smaller guilds advance. Our alliance is very laid back, one guild is almost 190 mil, the other 130 mil. Think of the Hoth TB as the tier 5 or 6 leading to the Heroic version of TB (Geonosis). The biggest difference is raids can be abandoned whereas TB you are stuck until the end...If you can't get a single star - there is no jumping ship after day 1, you are stuck until after day 4 with the new TB. There would have been far greater complaints of guilds that tried the new TB and got 0 rewards, rather than releasing requirements in advance and saying its in your best interest to not try the new TB yet. Going back to raids, it would be the same thing as allowing 5* squads to attempt the Heroic phases.
