A lot to unpack there. Not a huge fan of Eras and Colisium but as an end game player (mostly f2p) we need a constant flow of new characters so those who spend to keep if f2p have an incentive to continue spending.
At the end of the day if you are early to mid game then just take the free shards and put them on the back burner as really chasing after new shiny stuff isn't for you just yet (you'll get there).
100% agree about TW, our Guild just doesn't bother as the rewards are rubbish for the effort needed when 600m+ guilds go against each other.
As for Raid- just no, this is the same thing as needing new toons, there has to be an incentive for players to rush new content. For the rest you can do the legacy raids but it is absolutely fine that the highest raid rewards go to those who make the most effort or spend the most.
As for the game surviving- get real, its not about the game struggling- its because you want the most stuff without either being A) Patient B) Spending.
