I fundamentally disagree EQ was ever supposed to be about competition. At least, not on a PvE server.
I never gave one shit who the "best runner" on p99 was -- and almost no one else does either. There are literally like 20 guys that give it a second thought in the entire world. Frankly, a mental health professional would have a field day with them.
No substantial amount of people actually care about the competition on p99. It's too bad people can't just enjoy their childhood game without a group of no-lifers ruining it for them.

This is exactly what I think when people defend this system and call it "competing" for mobs.
Competition is found in PVP, and in the actual encounters of a raid involving players versus the mobs aka PVE.
When the most important factor that decides the success of a guild is having the most available time to sock mobs, that's not showcasing skill and that isn't being competitive.
That's just being greedy and using the word "competition" to justify the greed and unwillingness to share the games content with others who don't have endless time to sock.
I don't care tbh, I don't raid and I enjoy grouping or soloing more than raiding. I find fun everywhere except in the raid scene here.
That being said, I just can't help but grow weary of this talk about "competing" for mobs and racing, etc. this is total BS.
If A/A are so alpha and competitive, they should go to the red server where you actually have to compete and all of the lawyer questing is out the window.
Otherwise stop pretending this system is about competition. It's about monopolizing pixels by having the most available people who can sock an endless amount of time.
