Wow, i went to sleep and this became a 5 page thread *0*
TBH, about all the camping and the teaming up:
I doubt any of the EG, Collision, Ice or Exodus members were there camping the entrance. I walked in like 5 mn after woe and i still died. I'm pretty sure everyone was outside talking already for those three guilds so stating that certain "guilds" (i supposed the way u say it sounds like ur saying Ice/Collision/Exodus/ any of the big guilds did it) were farming the entrance doesn't make sense. Of course, as Earl Grey got into the emp room ike 30 min before anyone else found out they bugged it inside (with agreement from Njoror apparently), it wasn't "teaming up". Any of the guilds would have tried to wipe out Earl Grey instead of hit the emp and let them win. It's the same idea as for a FFA castle in RO1. People surround the emp and protect it and usually get a sin to wipe that emp in the last few minutes (which of course is slightly impossible here). I just found it pretty funny that the guild woe event was going on and it was indeed pretty unfair (along with the backup from Njoror) that Earl Grey went ahead and "reproduced the bug" and oh of course, hit the emp til like 50% while everyone else was trying to get in there legitimately.
That whole woe last night just proved that the development team needs to go back and rethink a bunch of things.
