It is not surprising that the raiding community and participation is rapidly declining as a whole, not only the hardcore ones.

Midwinter? They a guild that had a name change? Cause honestly I can't recall that name.
Oh no, people that have been raiding for a decade have stopped doing so, #deadgame, or maybe they just grew up and either lost the enthusiasm to keep raiding, or life has other plans.
Just because it’s been done before doesn’t make it good though is the point.
They try to prevent us from burning out by “rotating” (like the M+ system from the next expansion) but it is just having the opposite effect on a lot of people. Frustration when it’s not up

So they are a guild that wasn’t competing for WF? Why would you know them then… nothing edgy about that.

well its literaly one of thusand of no-name guilds who are mythic raiding. why would they be special ? i have seen 3 mythic raid guilds collapse just in last tier. yet somehow mmochamp didnt mention them even they were very fun people to raid with
i literaly care more about +10 that i just did on my fresh rogue alt then about them quiting - because people i meet in that dungeon had impact on how i play game
them quiting have 0 impact on wow.
It is generational to an extent - I'm older at this point and saw this and felt a little wistful maybe. I don't know anyone in the guild anymore at this point - but I immediately assumed it's ongoing life changes, getting older, less time, etc. Who knows though. I was on Ysera, where they started way back when, and they had a good reputation in addition to being competitive. They were an influential enough guild that when they left the server it created the typical ripple effect of other competitive guilds leaving, and the server essentially died. It never really recovered.
They were a solid guild with good people that left a mark on the community. It could be argued there are tons of similar guilds, and that's true I'm sure, but they achieved some notoriety by being all around good sports / good people. It doesn't diminish the impact. It would be nice to see more of that era of community around today.
I don't know if I'd consider that a good thing. "Old" is a common pejorative in the modern WoW community these days. There's a prevailing wisdom that the older you get the worse you are at video games. (Just look at Riggnaros as an example. That guy had Limit Maximum status in the community back when BL was the best NA guild; he's mostly a living meme these days.)
