Dunno why the server being at its end is really relevant to be honest. Rampage didn't need the gear to clear Velious, Kunark raid gear is mostly junk, just a few neat clickies.
Eh rotating 16 mobs versus the Velious mobs I can sort of see that being a point one could make. But there are plenty of mobs left up unmolested by the guilds who race in ToV every week. They're just not all that exciting to some like Velketor, Lord Bob, Wuoshi, Kelorek, Tal/Gore/Sev/Fay, Sontalak, Vindi. Maybe even Trakanon, VS, West ToV, Klandicar, Ikatiar, Sevalak, and Fear golems on occasion, I dunno anymore. So I would agree to some extent.
I think an equal point to be made is that guilds have some outlet of raid targets to hit. Whereas back then even Maestro was tracked and instantly ported up for during the majority of Kunark. Guilds could only do planar clears, Chardok royals and that's about it. Doing that with no other targets for years would've gotten lame. Would you not agree here?
I'm all for sharing, but I'm not in a position to negotiate. I still dream of a P99 where you can schedule a raid at hour X, plan to raid for 2-3 hours and slay some dragons. But that's not a server P99 has ever been and the powers that be aren't interested in that unfortunately. Nor am I going to be able to convince them of that as I'm a huge minority. The majority of awakened enjoys competition in some style, and a fraction of them actually do that competing via racing. Never been my style and I won't ever understand it, but like the many guilds before them on this server, I suppose that's their right to do until Rogean says otherwise.
So I took my ball, and went off to another server to enjoy Luclin and PoP! I just float around here for the ForumQuest and randomly people request my assistance for various P99 related quests and occasionally raid mobs that require all hands on deck like Tunare or AoW.
