Not to this extent and not like this, not ever. You know this is fact, as does everyone else involved here, and still spew these stupid statements.
Sitting in place doing absolutely nothing for 4 days was NEVER EVER beneficial to any character or guild on any live EQ server. It's pure bullshit.

I didn't make a specific statement about "sitting in place doing absolutely nothing". I made the statement "time/energy invested was proportional to the progress of your toon/guild", which is entirely correct for classic Everquest until they started dumbing it down.
Show me someone who logs in one hour a day vs. someone who actively plays 12 hours a day. Convince me the first guy has more progress on his character than the latter guy. Show me a guild who plays casually and uses guildchat like a chat program/price check system, and then show me a guild who devotes time to recruiting good players with lots of opportunity to play, has a twitter/text network up and running, has a mobilization plan, willing to log their mains somewhere to play alts for a few days, etc, etc, etc. Convince me the first guild gets more raid targets than the latter guild.
Just like it was in the classic trilogy. We had the casual vs. powergamer discussions 11 years ago just like we do here. More Time/energy => Better Results
We had the uberguild on Xegony that did this, and some of them are here now in the uberguild here. And the rest of the server got their scraps too until an alliance of three other guilds started giving them a run for their money. Anyone who spent time in Classic/Kunark/Velious on Xegony remembers this and knows which guilds I'm specifically talking about. :P
