If you're reduced to COTH ducking what the fuck are you really winning?
It's sad and pathetic. Not winning

Some people define winning as beating other people and making them upset.
"As long as I'm stopping someone else from getting what I have, or as long as I'm frustrating someone else and making them mad, I'm winning, and WINNING IS INHERENTLY FUN."
This is the attitude of the hardcore wolf. It's not about COTH ducking it's about WINNING. To WIN, you need LOSERS.
This is how it was back in all the old school games with PvP. The hardcores dominated the casuals and would follow the casuals. When the hardcores followed the casuals to wow... suddenly we discovered that it was next to impossible to actually dominate the casual anymore. Blizzard was protecting the casuals. The best we could do was to complete the content, brag about it, and then... nothing left to do...
What do you do after you've beaten all the content in a PvE game and the game mechanics disallow you from denying other guilds from completing that content?
The game gets boring and you quit.
I was just like IB/TMO back in my late teens/early 20s. Pre-WOW, my guilds would have fun dominating the casuals. Post-WOW, my guilds would crush all the content and have nothing left to do, get bored, maybe make some money by selling characters or PLing for a bit, then quit to find something else to do.
This current situation is classic EQ all over again. The only difference is that it's been going on for like 5 years instead of just a few LOL.
I just discovered P99 but I wish I could have followed this server since inception. Would have been super nostalgic to play on a fresh EQ server with rusty weapons.
