People need to appreciate what this server is instead of complain about what this server isn't.

Agreed. Of all the places one can get their EQ fix in I think this server has it best for anyone looking for a feel of pre-luclin/planes EQ. Sure, if you did want to play anywhere else for a "livelike" experience you could've ended up on Live or the Grand Creation and (not to bash those servers) probably ended up grouping with someone who felt courteous enough to drop 1/6 boxes they ran just to get around. The idea that MQ and boxing isn't allowed here in and of itself has in my opinion made for a solid community that has now lasted years plural.
Unlike other EQ communities I enjoy being here also because (i.e. again Live: "go get some defiant stuff from tutorial/crescent reach/bazaar") here people are willing to help others and respond with an answer (even money and/or lowbie gear in some cases) as opposed to just referring you to allakhazam; was once given a box of abu-kar as a noob for passing by the right level 50 at the right time haha.
Point: There are indeed alot of positive aspects to this community you don't find on any other EQ server anymore. In as much as that there is a lot of enjoyment to be had with friends raid or no raid.
That being said as a higher level on a limited amount of content there certainly is competition and I don't doubt the fact that it gets heated, but that is not the whole game, and if it is why didn't you join TMO or the former IB to begin with? lol, there are solutions if you don't want to be part of TMO but as they've been suggested several times nobody wants to cooperate enough under multiple guild tags to make that happen; I wasn't around much when TMO became the "big boss" (didn't play during school semesters) but from what I've read several times they had persistence and had to pry the torch from other guild's hands, why other guilds aren't banding together to "pry the torch from their hands" so to say if they feel so strongly about it is beyond me; regardless of loot you'd eventually have a workable and comparably competitive community of a decent size under several tags and level should you put in the effort for a short while together (which could at that point merge if they got along so well).
