Well sorry but that is totally classic. Casual guilds weren’t in ToV during Velious. Hence the term hardcore raid guild was coined. So if you want it truly classic, only a few truly dedicated guilds would be there and they would be killing trash to get to dragons. Just how I remember it on live.
P99 is not live, and this has nothing to do with "hardcore" or "casual". Live had what, three "top guilds" competing in ToV at once? At most, on some servers, for less than a year. P99 has at times (per GM Braknar) 8 forces in ToV, and this has been going on in that zone for years now (well, maybe not all 8 guilds, but raid drama). That's longer than the one year ToV was ever relevant on live; remember Luclin came out a year after it was released.

So no, it's not anything like live was, and unless the staff starts banning tons of guilds off the server it will never be classic. The only solutions are unclassic ones: our current (extremely unclassic) system, rotations (classic on some servers, but definitely not classic accross the board), instances (also extremely unclassic, but the staff seems to be warming to them), etc.
