The problem is guilds dont want to slowly progress. They want everything bc they know they "could kill it" but when it comes to taking down a raid boss while others are contesting, all bets are off and they fold unwilling to try.
There are 1 hr locks on mobs - each time you secure one and suceed you gain a little bit of progress and knowledge but rather than focusing on specific targets to continually upwards progress, you kill a bit of this and that and feel you deserve that experience any time you like without putting in the effort to improve and grow.
Nemce will remember me making these gripes years ago in Class R forums-we lose sight of the carrot when the stick is snapped in two and a short stub is handed over with a carrot in trex arms reach.

Sure they gain little bits of progress and knowledge but they also have to sink resources/time into these gains against two well oiled machines that play EQ like it's their jobs. Eventually the little bits of progress stop coming or are so few and far between that the progressing guild stops progressing. This is what always happens. Plenty of guilds just said "fuck it" and found more sane shit to do. I took BDA to Phinny, a lot of people retired to Rustle because they already have most of their pixels, and dozens of other guilds just dissolved entirely because the p99 raid scene is absolutely fucking terrible.
There are not enough pixels for the amount of guilds on p99 that are able to do the content and the staff does not give two fucks about the casual player base. Vote with your feet you idiots. Stop banging your heads against this stupid fucking wall. Leaving all my cool stuff behind on p99 for Phinny was really hard, it was 5+ years of work, but scheduling raids with my friends made EQ actually fun. I traded all that stress for fun and I've never been happier with eq.
