You may be right. http://www.wowjutsu.com/us/index2.html is a automated progress tracker, though it tends to round up when people transfer. It has about 150 guilds in BT, or about 3/4 of one per relm (US only).
I still maintain that this gap is unprecedented. Remember, there are no hints of the new content - no activity in MPQ's, no obvious portals with nothing behind them. It takes around 6 months from when they start teasing something to when it goes live. If they don't do something about it soon, other games will be happy to eat their lunch. They have had a nice run without any serious challengers so far, but that will be tested (I hope) by some much anticipated games.
