No one is getting paid to play on P99, as they would at work. If they are getting paid, it is against the rules of the server and they should not be here. The only reason people play this server is for utility, or happiness in the economical sense. Comparing playing p99 and working for cash moneys is not even close to a valid comparison.
Retort to your bad comparison - The majority of the server was not happy with poopsocking, and the other shit in the raid scene. It seriously is/was fucking stupid, and EQ live would not have lasted if it was like this on live. Where is the utility??? When people are grossly unhappy with their wages at work, do you know what they do? Start stealing, get a new job, or form a union... You can extrapolate this any way you see fit.
Overall - I think every single person interested in discussing this topic can agree that killing no or almost no raid mobs sucks. At a high level, and with a long enough duration, you will eventually quit. Guess what. That is what was/is going on for a lot of the players on the server. Word around town is that the raid scene on this server is awful. If you want this server to keep going strong, make the changes to keep the server health. Velious wont fix this, it just moves the goal line. There needs to be a real fix, and it needs to be fair for everyone who plays and wants to see content.
ps - There is a lot of finger pointing at the casual guilds saying they don't want to earn their loot. On live, obviously we had races to spawns, and if there was a wipe I well remember taking the kill over the bodies of the guild who got there first. So I might agree with this finger pointing. However, I also remember that most of the time there were no races... I keep remembering my live guilds earning loot because they built up the appropriate force and strategies to kill a mob.
