This is now a guild-killing raid

It has always been like this.
I'm all for distributing rewards more equally for all ranks, but it's the "now" part that kinda rubs me the wrong way. Non-heroic guilds have been losing members ever since the raid was released..
too bad they butchered the initial raid reward rework, it had potential.

I'm certainly not without sympathy for lower GP guilds who lost players when the Sith raid was released. I know a couple of guild leaders who had to deal with that pain, just as they did when HAAT was released.
Trust me I'd back solving this problem to the hilt, and stand with you on it.
I've seen some sentiment on the forums and unofficial forums suggesting there's a sort of binary choice as to whether you're supportive of large or small guilds. You needn't choose, you can be supportive of both! It pains me to see guilds of all GP levels struggle.
My reason for raising this issue "now" is that it's something that impacts me personally now, or more accurately, has affected my guild for several months now as we've endured a lot of pain. With all the will in the world, I'm not fully tuned in to the issues of smaller guilds, nor am I the right girl to kick start posts on the subject, since I don't have my finger on the pulse there so to say.
