I said I can understand the perspective of might makes right, but do the folks in power (with the advantages of being on the server earlier) ever even think about sharing that part of the game?
Personally, I don't think it's valid. My core inner self would like to be an idealist, no matter how foolish the fancy. In my perfect world:
Folks wouldn't be so greedy or take things so incredibly seriously that it is their stated mission to keep other players down simply for the sake of remaining the "best" as stated in this thread.
I just think that's incredibly sad.
The realist in me knows this won't change, and knowing that, I can gain solace from the fact that I don't have to enter that arena if I don't want to.
I guess I'm just shocked that people are so invested in their own pursuits in a fantasy world that they will knowingly and willfully block out folks from experiencing the same content at some point... just to say they're number one.

Whether for good or bad, a core component of Everquest has (and always will be) the comparison between one's toon and other toons and one's guild and other guilds.
So powerful is this desire that we, as players, are willing to camp items, rush spawns, engage in dramaz...
No reason to be shocked. EQ is a multiplayer game in which one shows off the results of their individual pursuits (or guild pursuits) to outsiders.
