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.

It is a much better "business" decision to cater to your more loyal customers (people who play more). A large majority of the casual player base doesn't give two shits TMO monopolizes content either.
I don't know what you expect the community to do. You have the have and have nots, just like any aspect of life. People who want to raid either are in TMO, want to be in TMO or don't want to join TMO for some reason or another. You have 3 choices at that point, apply to TMO, quit the game/stop trying to raid or compete with them. Despite what people say they don't have any advantage over anyone else except the inertia they've built up being the top guild on the server.
I guess my point is...too bad? I don't know how else to say it. Either beat them, join them, or quit - but complaining that TMO "won the game" fair and square and that makes you sad is just sort of lame.
