The A-Team plans to kill everything without regard to this arrangement. We recently applied for an economic stimulus grant for several hundred thousand dollars, which we are using to pay homeless people $.25 per hour to track for us.
On a more serious note: I would definitely like the high-end scene to be more cooperative and less competitive, but I don't think everything can be blamed on TMO. We need mechanics changes - some subset of:
- Simultaneous Repops, spreading players out during boss mob fights
- Tokens, allowing people to 'just enjoy classic Everquest'
- Ban trains in VP
- Reduce repop times on certain mobs (for example, all of hate/fear/sky repopping every 6 hours instead of 8/12/etc would be great)
- Encourage people to delete alt accounts of their own volition, by giving deleters guises or illusion stuff or whatever
