The raid scene was terribly one sided until DA came around, and they had to crawl and scratch their way into the raid scene... It wasn't pretty, but through a lot of hard work they succeeded. Go back and read these forums from then, I think you are forgetting. Things were nasty, nasty, nasty. They are pretty civil now in comparison.

And before Kunark there was basically two raid guilds: IB and DA. There were also 5 targets. Think about that. Compare that to now. It makes sense why things were so horrible when you think about it. I think time has softened the lenses on our past history here.

Btw, it wasn't until a year later that VD competed, when IB needed their bodies for joint raids. And then VD/BDA teamed for a bit... I don't think VD was ever a raid force on its own, other than for planar clears (and yes VD and DA teamed, but that was to clear PoSky pre-Kunark, which wasn't "competitive" in the same sense).
