I thought I was clear, but I'll try again. When you (and not just you, many in this thread) are in "defend P99 competition" mode you're all about how "competition" is what's important, and it doesn't even matter about organizing people to kill dragons. "We've been doing this for year, anyone can kill dragons, that's the easy part, the hard part is competing!" "The pixels themselves don't even matter, it's all about the exclusivity!" That, more or less, is the argument.
But then when someone points out that hey, the vast majority of your guild doesn't "compete", well then suddenly what matters is the work of assembling all those people, because it's hard, and getting them to kill a dragon, because it's hard, and allocating loot fairly, because it's hard. As soon as anyone points out most of the guild doesn't "earn" their loot through competition, well then all those people do earn it, by playing EverQuest, and never mind that they don't compete.
You can't have it both ways. Either competition makes you deserve loot, and there's a hole in your argument that most of the guild getting the loot doesn't actually deserve it, or killing the dragon makes you deserve loot, in which case the "competition" part isn't actually what we're all here to play.
But you can't have it both ways: you can't claim top-end guilds deserve dragons and no one else does because they compete, when most of them don't actually compete.
