Earthfury isn’t dead, just not what it used to be prior to opening free transfers. Once one guild leaves, the rest think oh no better off the sinking ship.
Edit: Just wanted to add, that while horde are at most meeting stones, it’s almost never a problem and this point is exaggerated so often its infuriating. Like really? fight or run in the dungeon, it’s not even close to making the game unplayable, or even hard.
