As someone who has played eq on pvp since day one on live this statement is pretty ignorant. I played live with a few friends we would transfer to the blue server raid in the top guilds and gobble gear and go back to zek.
From a pve standpoint we always topped parses both heal and does. Smashing the blue guilds and the pve factor of the raids on blue make Tov and these raids look as easy as they are.
Number of reasons for it.
1) players on pvp servers are better with mechanics (dispels //aoes ect) because we have been conditioned to respond to them more frequently.
2) alertness remaining constantly vigilant always being paranoid from pvp.
Sure red has some dead weight players but the average blue player. Is far far worse. Remember only the elite long term players can reach 60 and raid on blue they exp much slower.

This is the number one reason. On blue you compete for pulls and really want to keep the guilds as small as possible while being able to monitor spawns and downing content. This forces people to learn their role and be worth their spot. On Red raid spots are a revolving door and there are always new people.
The best players on Red are leagues ahead of the best on Blue. Red players seek competitive play (even though Red99 actually doesn't have any) so it is just natural that they are better gamers.
