The reason why it takes months to get an item is because Everquest is a game based on good items being hard to get. Seven day respawn timers by themselves mean you will not get more than 100 drops of a specific item per year. It is usually way less than this, due to the randomized drop tables.
That is one of the main reasons people play p99 in my opinion. If you want to be able to create a BiS character in short period of time, basically every major MMO out there caters to that playstyle. P99 is one of the few MMOs out there that still has real item rarity.
