Which is why we'll never see the community change unless / until the server rules change. To quote Sirken, this server has always been split into two teams: the zerg and everyone else. Zerging is just the most effective strategy for getting loot, particularly when there are no good methods for combating the zerg.
  • Item loot isn't enabled, can't take their pixels.
  • Training isn't allowed, can't use mobs to even the numbers
  • Pelling raid targets and similar aren't allowed, can't disrupt raids.
  • High resists and OP weapons ensure that strategies like nuking key targets and AoE are less effective and BiS melee are king, one less way to combat the zerg.
  • No reward for PvP, no reason not to join the zerg if it's well-managed.
Things will remain as they are unless the server rules change.
I don't think training AND item loot would be healthy, but a choice of one or the other would be healthy. Personally i think item loot is better, it forces people to either run around naked and be easier targets, or risk high value resist gear.

It seems like the current rules favors the zerg and makes R99 into P99 2.0
