As one who has watched and helped my guild grow from a 45m GP guild that couldn't even beat HAAT, to now being a 145m GP guild, farming traya, close to max stars on TB, even with some lower level members; I can honestly say I am not being held back, because I helped my guild grow, helped recruit, got rid of players that were inactive, moved players that were casual to a guild that was more their style, and helping those members that stuck with it, it can be done.
I'm 4.8m gp+. It just takes commitment to grow your guild. Start small, little things like getting 600 tickets every day. You raid more, therefore more gear, your squads become stronger, your members increase in GP, you get more points in TB, and it just continues snowballing.
