There are problems with the community, but I find the average TLP player to be more skilled than the average P99 player. The game itself is harder than P99. P99 is just grindier. Like when I buff my group on P99 I buff everyone at one time and don’t worry about it for a couple of hours. On TLP I don’t have enough mana to do that, so I’m constantly trying to slowly buff and maintain buffs on multiple players while also trying to save enough mana to heal and I regularly have to CC, dispel mobs, stun, cure poison/disease every single pull — something far less common on P99 — also dying is super common — my cleric on p99 never dies between two barriers and lower mob AI where you drop all aggro super easy and root is broken OP and never resists or breaks.
There’s not nearly as many chanters and it’s completely normal for players to CC 5 mobs in compact spaces using nothing but Root or Necromancer mez or Bard charm... P99 players would never even attempt this, if they don’t get an enchanter they just give up.
Also I would say people on TLP communicate way more if they aren’t bots..I’ve been in Discord calls with almost every single group I’ve had.. this never happened, not even once on P99...
The biggest problem I’ve had so far is people being blatantly greedy. For instance almost every group I’ve been in has a group leader who decides to give himself loot because he needs it, but doesn’t apply the same logic to others in the group. For instance a Shaman earlier awarded himself 5 pieces of Totemic, including the helmet and a darksea harpoon because they are Shaman only... but then when abalone gorget and adamantite epaulets drop, and I’m the only Cleric... nah, time to greed roll. Had a Ranger do the same thing with Granite bracers, and then when Runed Mithril Bracers drop and I NEED them, nah, greed roll... same dude took a mithril breastplate and then took a brigantine tunic 5 minutes later... and then when the bard wants another brig tunic that drops.. same guy insists on greed roll...this isn’t like rare occurrences either, every group I’ve been in has been like this and people tolerate it because they want to level while exp is still fast but you can tell everyone silently hates it.
Also saw a Druid win a thick banded belt and then curse a rogue out for not giving the Druid black chitin leggings that dropped...like wtf lol
Look forward to getting a guild with people I like playing with because so far I kind of hate a lot of people and have already started a shut list of people I won’t group with.
Edit those of us who hit 50 super fast may be much more skilled and competitive than those who are still level 30... maybe there are legit bads down there, but I feel like I’m playing with ultra competitive people..

They weren't bots, they were communicative. My experience as well with loot; I only play in groups that N everything or that I lead. I had some druid throw a tantum after we wouldn't give him Gatorscale leggings after I had to roll against 3 druids for my first magic weapon as a ranger. Booted his ass to the curb.
