Here is a quote from the Dawnbreaker Reloaded thread.

That depends. We will accept a public apology from the member of Decibel who insulted our guild "No Mercy" and our guild member "Hova", and that will be sufficient payment for us to leave. Otherwise, we will annihilate this server like we do all the others. 4 of our guild members are current emperors. We cannot be stopped.
AD could work better with eachother between Dawnbreaker and Auriel's Bow to stop some of this visiting player/guild intimidation. The poster is correct about coming to servers and shutting down the map then defending that map and holding it so that competition leaves. It is done by communicating well when there is activity on a controlled map, then the Emperor responds with his team, if not enough to withstand the challenge then other Emperor teams show up from other campaigns. This has happened on their home on Bloodthorn and it has happened on Auriel's Bow with Die's group leaving that they have chased away competition.
They have not been able to hold Wabbajack and will not be able to hold Dawnbreaker and Auriel's Bow if AD steps up their game and communication. The visiting player mechanic sucks in that this stuff is allowed, but that is the framework that we are playing with and can use to turn this intimidation and competition limiting behavior around.
New AD guild or a current guild step it up to lead teams to do the same? It would take a guild with strong leadership and inclusive style to bring some of us monkeys together without alienating current guilds. Go bananas AD.
