I agree with Baylan. I'd rather spend 2 hours playing everquest then log in for 5 minutes at a time to turn on autoattack and then log off, regardless of who gets the loot. I don't play Everquest to NOT play Everquest.

I'd like to think most people do agree as well. At least from what I've seen most people have welcomed the new change save a few even if it hasn't necessarily translated to more kills but it's been more fun trying especially for the small group of hardcore players that used to do all the socking and tracking for each spawn and usually get nothing for it except DKP they cant ever spend. At least now if people spend 3 hours clearing to Koi and not even getting it they had fun raiding together instead of the same small handful of people wasting their time every cycle.
It's a different case for most of the people I've seen posting from aftermath who have pretty much complained about the new rooted dragons since the change and the reason is because even though the new meta is more fun and challenging for more people involved, the old meta was working better for them and their preferred play style, which was loot conveyor and bragging rights (and denying pixels to other guilds).
The new meta also severely restricts ability to monopolize 90+% of the content. That just isn't working out for the warmbodies that joined AM to only log in and play 5 hours a week and still get pixels without having to do much actual work because they already had a dedicated core of hardcore sockers, FTE'ers and pullers. Basically its 10x more work for 1/2 as many pixels as they are used to getting.
This may sound like ragging on AM, which I do a lot, but in this case I can't even really fault them for it because it probably would happen to any guild in their position.
