You'll still have skill vs luck, Nedala. After you kill one target you race to the next, and that guild that's at the other target can't wipe or you'll get there and take it. That's skill and luck. Sometimes you'll even have targets which aren't claimed at all, now you have to plan to split your raid party or stay at trak or leave trak and take that target.
Skill isn't sitting around for 4 days and answering a batphone. Alt+tab every 5 minutes isn't skill. All that does is encourage SEQ and dual-boxing. What I've described takes far more skill, strategy and planning. You can still use your batphone, btw, but it would be on patch days or simulated patch days.
And what Troy said. That notion of skill you have was created here. It can just as easily die here. There are other forms of skill in EQ, but to go so low as to consider tracking 4 days as one of those skills is absolutely ludicrous. -- unnecessary p99 behavior.
EDIT: You also had guilds planning with each other which targets they'd go for on the next round of pops. If you were missing an epic piece off nags you could talk to another guild who's been doing nag and tell them you'd leave vox if they leave nag. This type of cross guild communication doesn't exist here.
