It's good to be on the winning side, that will never change. But games nowadays don't want to deal with people raging so they instance content. EQ was a game designed around PVE competition. Look at the polls they are throwing up for EQN, they've specifically asked how much content they should instance.
It's a double edged sword...do you want instanced WoW style content where you farm badges and turn them in every 3-4 weeks (minimum) for a piece of gear you'll then farm 4 more weeks of tokens for to upgrade?
Or do you want to have to fight for the MOBs but get instant gratification?
They realized the predicament in EQ Live which is why Velious is one of the only expansions I can think of released for any MMORPG that didn't include a level cap increase, just additional content. Sure the Velious armor is BiS almost across the board but EQ was one of the few games that didn't completely devalue previous expansion content, at least through Velious. Velious was all about spreading people out and giving more raid targets. It's an entire new continent of 40+ content, 90% of it being max level type stuff.
People really should stop worrying about it. Velious will come. What we should worry about is 4 years after Velious is out...but by then they'll be plenty of time to think up an elegant solution.

It is not a question to be in the good "side" or not. If you really want to get some dragons, god etc, you should create or joining any guild with people who has the same goal as you and go.
