Let me start by saying that I agree that zones should not be reserved for certain guilds on certain days.
Let me follow that up by saying that boss rotation between 2 guilds is a win win situation that you should take while the taking is good.
As I have said before, enjoy the fact that there are only 2 of you right now because that's not going to last much longer.

You have it so good you don't even realize!!! You have very little competition and access to every single great item in the game right now. Chances are your very existence will slow the progress of other guilds as anyone who reaches 50 will jump ship from their "family guilds" to join yours. I have seen this happen time and time again on live. Stop crying and this goes for both guilds.

Actually, I did that all on live, and I've been doing it again on other emulated servers. The thing those other servers lack (with the possible exception of VZTZ's hackfest), and the best* part of eq for me: competitive raiding.

So, in short- you're wrong.

See, this is what I get hung up on.
Raiding is all about working together as a team to overcome extremely difficult encounters. Now if it's a race to be the first on the server to do something... well then we are too late for that with the existing bosses.

What's the competition now exactly??? To down a boss ten times while the other guild only downed it 5 times? To have 6 people in your guild owning a rare item as opposed to just 3 people in the opposing guild?

What am I missing? Everyone seems to be bragging on how easily bosses are being killed with much fewer players than was ever attempted back in 1999. So we know the loot obviously isn't essential for success, at least not at this point.

So I ask again, what exactly is the competition, other than greed? What have you to prove? That you can run to a zone faster than the other team? That you kill the mob faster? That's pretty lame...
