Yep, lots of us Oceanic players are in that situation. With guild raid times varying from GMT+8 to GMT +12(13) when one guild dies it's raiders are often forced to chose between Paying for a Transfer, Quitting or joining a guild not in your timezone. In the case of my Cata guild, most just quit.
There's a couple of long lasting stable Oceanic guilds (in my timezone or close enough) but would require a faction transfer also, so at $55 per character it's just not worth it.
