Yeah I know what you mean, but that accomplishment is only attained one way. Things like instancing and forced rotations kind of killed the very accomplishment people were so hungry for. So I think I lean toward the uber guild crazies when it comes to their logic, I just want nothing to do with it. And we can all coexist.

Like I'm starting up a new sham right now and having the time of my life, couldn't do that without this server. Knowing that crazy weirdos are dominating all the high end content doesn't bother me at all, it actually makes it feel more classic.

Interesting anecdote though: When I played back in 2000-2001 during actual classic, I had a lvl 52 druid. I somehow got all the way up to the end of my epic where you have to go kill the spawned faydedar, which drops nothing except the quest piece. My friend who was in an uber guild on Povar *somehow* got a bunch of his guild mates and people from like two other guilds to come down and kill this mob so I could finish my epic. I was just some scrub with no money and they just came together and did it. There's absolutely no way in hell that would ever happen here, and I don't see how you can possibly emulate that.
