Basically the raid scene on p99 is lightyears away from what everquest raiding was in real velious.
Everything you said is true, but how would you fix this?

Put a limit on total characters a person can have / play? Something like 2 characters per IP, and if a character is logged onto from more than 2 IPs (let's say 1 for home, 1 for work), it raises a flag that a GM investigates? Basically start cracking down on shared toons and alts?

Do a full server wipe every year or two?

Remove recharges?

Remove certain clicky items (cough cough DA Idol cough cough)?

Gonna piss off a lot of people if they do any of the above really.
