Unrooting them is not classic. This is a classic EverQuest emulation server.

Wtf are you talking about? Dragons weren't rooted in ToV until Luclin?

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.

I hate that I can't have an opinion just because my guild is killing less dragons. It's not about the dragons. My RA% dove from 40% to 11% before we even started losing weeks.
The new meta does not restrict the ability to monopolize content. If our guild isn't competing with Riot... who exactly is? There was 0 competition for this weeks Vulak. And it still took hours upon hours. And who is killing all of VP every week? It's not us?
Also, all those players who did "all the tracking and never got anything for it"... Anyone who was a hard core raider is now in one of two guilds. You can't even sniff ToV unless you are in AM or Riot, or if you bring enough toons that riot or aftermath will let you raid with them. You shouldn't need 2 hours from 120 people to kill one mob in NToV, ESPECIALLY considering all the best in slot gear people are wearing.
Also, who's this mblake guy? Dudes unstable AF.
And you guys have been completely glossing over the fact that raiding in P99 Red is Completely impossible now.
