For almost all of my P99 life I have been in the guild that was #1. Now that I'm not playing P99, It seems silly how the end-game raid rules are structured currently. If I was in A/A currently, id be happy with the current rules, because no casual fucks are going to throw away their real lives like A/A do and therefore they won't secure any pixels.
Right now the raid rules benefit the 2 top guilds, that aint even debatable. The 1 Hour to FTE made raiding a lot more boring. You literally log in now just to collect free pixels. Beforehand, logging in, grouping up, setting up rotations, all while the dragon was INCOMING was what made raiding so thrilling. Now you're hard pressed to wipe on 96% of the mobs.
So the current raid rules made A/A raiding boring to the extend that a ton of veterans just don't even play this game now, and smaller guilds are still getting next to nothing. But it's a damn good server to level some alts on.
The person that dedicates more time should get to see more pixels, thats the point of video games. But we are here to experience Classic Everquest, so a line should be drawn.
There are a lot of better ways to go about this than the current rules. Bag limits, C/R/FFA rotations, whatever, something has to be better than this.
