LOL, it's exactly "real competition". Most damage done = win. The same as whoever is the highest jumper or fast runner or scores the most goals, wins in an athletic competition. What's not real competition is declaring everyone a winner regardless of skill and performance (which is what the original PnP catered to), or even worse, the current p99 mechanic of people being able to own a camp by doing nothing but sitting around. That mechanic not only rewards having no skill, but also actively blocks other people from even trying.
Similarly, the mechanic of "who tags a spawn first" when that's an option is extremely stupid as well; something that essentially comes down to random luck or who happens to live closest to the server host, to have the fastest ping.

Rules you don't like: rules giving melees good odds as well.
Rules you do like: rules which allow any caster anywhere to take a mob a melee player wants without any recourse.
I get it, you want to have an easier time on the new server, but you should really just get good instead of hiding your real intentions behind another twenty-line forum post about how the PnP should be nixed (but please don't enable PvP because my poor caster butt might get owned!)
Green is going to recreate the classic
video game. The classic
experience will never be recreated, unless you want to put everyone on dial-up again, blind casters while medding, remove wikis, etc. The classic video game environment is recreated, everything else (PnP, /petition rules, player agreements) doesn't have to adhere to your memories. If p99's community was on classic EQ from day 1, the PnP would have been implemented on day 2.
