Your perception seems off to me Envious. I'd imagine most of the people who didn't transfer from TZ would be people who invested too much time to bother, rather than rejects that couldnt hack the server haha. Only thing that was kinda shitty about TZ that could grief you was early Pandemonium cross team healing but eventually every guild turned that way.
I've jousted Tzuten kendrick and other rogues, on my rogue and never really noticed much of a front backstab advantage from them. The "skill" of EMU players you say sucked on live are because two things - a lot of people were young as fuck, I was 16 when EQ came out and I also couldn't dedicate the time to a top tier guild. I remember Telen being some unemployed fucken rich bastard who grinded aa's like 15 hoursa day in Velks with a bot ench/cleric for buffs. The "top" players on live played 10 hours a day and had a sick gear advantage ever since CN - PDM, if you think it was their sick jousting skills that are so much better than Xant or other emu players you said are sub par then I think you're way off.
