The 2x 5-boxer for raiding has worked atleast to some extent. There were a few guys making headway in HFC a bit back with a similar setup. So in theory atleast, it's doable. Just depends a lot of the encounters we'll have in Legion I guess.
There's plenty of us EU boxers around. We're just scattered over different realms and only some post on the forums. Finding the right people to team with might of course be a challenge. I can't say for certain that I will have the time for attempting raiding in Legion, but the concept definitely intriques me.
Was there anyone except you in the guild? I believe that after an extended absence of the guild master, it's possible for someone in the guild to ask a GM to gain control over it. Or even for someone to ask for the guild name to be freed if no one in the guild has been active for a long period of time, similarly to character names.
