What is a handout in EverQuest?

Is the ability to engage a mob and the mobs leading up to it the original way the designers of the game intended, through a dungeon crawl, a handout?

The competition on this server is arbitrary. The expansions came out so fast on live that players were not impeding each other from trying to kill mobs. It was harder to get to 60 and have enough players for a raid force on the live timeline due to how fast the expansions came out.

What is considered competition here is not *actually* a real thing in the mechanics of the original game. It is a totally player created thing.

Somehow handout has been equated to playing the game as it was originally intended. A handout would be Sirken giving out items in the East Commonlands Tunnel.

Yes, some items should only be in the hands of top raid guilds, but I think this server has a warped idea of what that means. This is the fault of how many years this server it out and why non-progressive MMOs are actually not a good thing.
