That's mostly a fair description. Although, if I were still in CSG and still carried that pride, that comparison would probably piss me off because each guild in CSG technically "can" clear everything in the game except Sleeper's Tomb.
They can't competitively clear it, but the difficulty isn't in the content. Same with Anonymous and Divinity. The difficulty is in the FTE race, which I absolutely hate and think is antifun. When I signed up for P99 what I really hoped for was a nostalgia trip where I could just experience the content of the game with people who I want to experience it with.
On P99 you can't do that, because A/A gets a lot of enjoyment from dominating the server and blocking others out of content. The end-game content for most casual raiding guilds is doable, it's just insanely hard to beat the hardcore guilds to the punch, and insanely hard to beat end-game content with other guilds breathing down your neck waiting for a vulture kill, and it's also an unclassic experience.
I mean if you had a CSG guild go up against Vulak they'd get owned. But then they'd rez up, modify their strategy, and try again. Sooner or later they'd get it down, and the dragon would die. You don't get to do that on P99, and I think that sucks.
