You know the first thing I said in this thread was that it's amazing how people come to this server knowing what it's all about but complain about it anyway.
You're right it is going to be a repeat. That's because that is the INTENTION of this server, to repeat that era. I'm in the same boat as you man, I don't have the time to invest to hang with TMO right now. Maybe never will. But I knew that going in, and I don't see how anyone could think things would be different.
Imagine for a moment that the top tier content guilds decided they've had enough loots and started letting other people kill it. Say goodbye to the majority of the high level population of the server than I guess...

And how many players has this server said goodbye to, who have given up because they have burned out or because they were not interested to raid under these conditions in the first place? Many, many more than those.
Yes, they could go play in a different server, but those other servers either aren’t classic or are so heavily customized they’re just not appealing. To relive classic EQ experience this is the server to be.
And no, this server wasn’t built with the intention of bringing the negative aspects of classic EQ back again, and even if it was, it was only for the first 8 months of Kunark. After that it’s not a repeat. It’s a whole new game, and doesn’t have to be like this.
The devs have done an amazing job creating this server, but there is so much they can do. The rest is up to the community, and unfortunately the dominant forces in the community, because they obviously have vested interests in letting things stay as they are, don’t let this server be a pleasant experience for everyone.
The sad thing is this is not even pleasant to them, but because this is their job, it’s ok that it’s not pleasant. It’s a job and they need to protect it any way they can.
