I know this runs throughout the servers, so I don't think I'm alone here. One (or two) guilds are so powerful that they dominate the server. What I mean is that take something like GWs. The dominate guild creates Alt guilds, builds them up, then strategically overwhelmingly outbids other guilds. Hence, the dominate guild then is defending (all available) cities against their own weaker Alt guild. This pushes the other guilds out of play.

It's gotten so bad that the dominate guilds create taunting Alt guild names (such as c$*kblocker) with toon names along the same theme. I don't know the answer, but as of now, I loathe to even play anymore. Chances are if I play and try to, say, Sail - I'm dead meat from the dominate guild and get some 50-million+ knucklehead slappin' around my 5-million+ butt just to get my daily assists. Yea, sure, I can hear the response: "...well, increase your VIP, dump more money..." or "...welcome to PvP noob..." or my favorite "...that's for xyz-player revenging me..." Nice. Yeah, right. Dumping more money won't get me across the ocean and it certainly won't help our guild bid on GW.

So, with the complaint - a solution? Merge servers? Moderate the abusing guilds? I'm not sure without sounding Socialist. There has to be a solution and I ask for recommendations.
