Pay to win mehhhh. I mean you can pay to get tradeable loot I guess but after Kunark almost everything is No Drop and loot rights aren't commonly found especially for the best stuff. With instanced content there's minimal point since no one can corner the market really.

What I've found on Phinigel is people usually cyclically play on these progression servers. When they release a new one in Classic many people jump on over to that one and repeat.

But that's just one server. There are also others out there that favor a more casual/sharing environment than P99.

Don't get me wrong, P99 does Classic EQ best by far so far as accuracy to the era goes. But that's the journey from 1-59. Once you get to 60 there are better avenues to entertain you if your goal is to raid in EQ. That's a solid chunk of the higher end casual guilds. Already level 60, done all the Kunark, HoTesting and Scout Charissa farming they can do.
Just stating there are pay to win methods. Also it is noteworthy you mention the cyclical people who jump to each new server. I was apart of one of those guilds awhile back. Got tired of it. I mean if you play p99 just to raid you certainly are doing it wrong like you stated. But like a few of my friends have said to me before we're all a little brain damaged(call it what you want) but we just keep on keeping on pixels or no pixels here.
