I totally agree with Yendorlootmonkey in this thread.
All these crazies in favour of "competition". Competitively calling in sick from work or competitively dropping playtime with the family because a mob spawned. Competitively pissing in a bucket so they can keep competitively clicking a button for hours on end.
I want to play PvE and experience the content but the content is not available if I don't join the zerg brigade.
My classic experience was our guild would rally for Nagafen. Wipe, CR, wipe, CR and get it on the 3rd or 4th try (or go home).
Can't happen here. On this server the dragons are dead because Team 600Members logged in and killed them 2 minutes after spawning.
If this was how "competition" worked then real life sports would not have scheduled kick off times and your team would be 1-0 down from the kickoff because the other team got to the stadium before yours did.
But it's not like that because that's not how competition works, except in P99 retarded raid scene.

Three options that I see.
1. Maintain honor, destroy the top guilds and absorb their brain trust. Just like the USA did after WW2.
2. Complain on forums, join their guilds and keep your head tucked down in shame, content with your place as a 'Warm Body'.
3. Don't raid. Who cares about BIS unless its a personal goal to have it. It is not required for anything other than your personal sense of l33t. This game starts you with nothing. You can leave it with nothing much at all and still have had a good time.
Raiding, raid mentality is not EQ. Its part of EQ. Of course in later expansions that became the focus, EQ died in its sleep.
