As far as VP, Class R needs to stay out. The skill level required to pull the zone and not have the literal whole zone kill everyone is a little higher than I'd feel comfortable entrusting with casual guilds in a competitive environment.

Just to play devil's advocate...casual/hardcore raiding is probably not any real indication of skill on p99. I myself just play here to do quests I never did on live, and find groups to run up the slacker dps classes I never got to play from 1-60 in the zones that I love and I have no interest (or time) for getting back into raiding (I play for like 2 hours tops in a sitting, if that).
But I pulled the hell out of VP when it was new and a lack of infinite alt armies and (timely) cs involvement made for much higher stakes (also our concerns for contesting went far beyond simply establishing FTE). I could probably still do it in my sleep. Especially with so many CS safety nets protecting me from my opposition, which I never ever saw happen on live, no matter whose pile was getting camped.
There are probably tons of folks on p99 who choose to play casually but do possess the knowledge from live to do everything that you do on p99. Probably far better, because they came up without benefits such as the massive alt armies that p99 has due to it being free and account trading/sharing being allowed for so long, and of course the fact that there is no new ground to break, nobody has to learn as they go, they can just head over to google and find out everything. And technical considerations of course. I imagine raids go a lot smoother here now that pretty much anybody with a remotely modern machine will never have to do things like look at the ground all raid, which was a thing that some people had to do on live.
It's not exactly new content. And vp as it stands on p99 with train rules being enforced and such is probably a pale shadow of real cutthroat vp from live, or even old p99.
