Everquest was always about competition, and those who say otherwise have never had the enjoyment of the competitive atmosphere of high end raiding during live.

You had ONE experience on live; don't assume everyone else had the same experience. Take Bristlebane: we had plenty of "competition". We had our top guild Club Fu, their rivals the Arch Overseers, and a few other competitive raiding guilds as well. I wasn't in any of them, but I was friends in real life with like half of Fu (we all played together at a communal gaming center), so I'm nevertheless familiar with what top level raiding was like.
But Bristlebane also had open dragon raids, and as I said before, I led one. Maybe not in the Velious era (ie. two years in), but not long after, and
long before year eight (or whatever year we're on here). To "compete" for Vox I went to a webpage somewhere and said "hey, I'd like to kill Vox". I won a roll or something (I forget exactly how the GMs did it, as it's been awhile), and I got a slot on the calendar. When it was my turn I recruited players from all over the server, killed Vox, got zero loot for myself, and had an absolute blast.
That's my 100% classic/live dragon experience. And I don't remember anyone back then whining about how unfair it was that we didn't "compete" for a digital dragon. To be fair, they had Luclin content to distract them, and we don't ... but then again live didn't have six(?) years of Kunark either.
