Some people like the competition. Basically every other EQ server has some form of rotation or cooperation. P99 is unique and largely remained as popular as it has because it is the one server that has traditionally catered to a more hands off competitive raid scene.
As for the toxicity, why is it bad? Are online games not the best place for people to exercise their demons a bit? One of the other games I like to play is Rust, specifically because it is so toxic. When someone fucks me over in Rust I don't assume they're a bad person or lecture them on how we should all play nice - because that is part of what makes the game interesting. It is exactly because these games basically mean nothing in the grand scheme of things that toxicity doesn't matter. No one is actually being materially harmed because we're all bored nerds slinging shit at each other, and it certainly isn't a problem anyone should be devoting any sort of significant time to solving.

That may work for Rust, but is pretty clear-cut against the rules in P99 EQ. I mean there's literally a rule-set dedicated to "Play Nice". I don't think arguing toxicity is something that's part of this game is applicable here. I'd argue further that toxicity was what lead to 2 guilds being banned, reinforcing that toxicity is not tolerated here.
