The unintentional side effect of TB
So, I started my account and joined in with a competitive guild. The guild was farming haat/hancor and was very helpful to a new player dying for that gear as a mostly F2P. Then TB happens. Non-8...

If your guild leaders kicked you for not being heavy (GP) enough, it's really lame and you'll be in better company elsewhere. If they did because you didn't participate enough (e.g. neglect combats, deploy instructions etc) it's sound team management (I assume it was the former).
The introduction of AAT was much worse because it was all or nothing. Normal mode was tedious, boring and unrewarding (they made it better since), and there was that huge entry barrier for Heroic.
With TB, a small guild can reach 10, 20 stars and get something, and it's not a huge incentive to jump to a guild that makes the next "level". Basically, there is a direct relationship between GP and stars... 100m GP will fetch 40+ stars, 70m GP is 30ish stars etc. Divide by 50 and you know where you're at, give or take.
