Can the WoW economy tolerate a cartel?

I actually ran a very successful cartel of sorts back in Vanilla/TBC. On our realm there were only 4 guilds on our faction with any decent progression (and by decent I mean finished T2 and attempting T3) so getting a dozen or so raid geared tanks to agree to a dungeon run price was fairly easy. It was alot different back then though. Now that we have multirealm RDF such a thing just won't work.

Also, gearing up is sooooooo much easier now, that if a cartel ever did pop up, people would just make a new toon of whatever type the cartel was made up of. It takes planning and a bit of help, but it is completely possible to go from level 1 to raid ready in 24 hours.

I bow to your godliness.

Seriously, though, a month sounds more realistic? Maybe 2-3 weeks, if you're hardcore, and depending on what your threshold for "raid-ready" is, but I can't imagine anybody reasonably doing this in less than a week.
