You're normalizing deviance. P1999's raid scene and ruleset is a broken trainwreck and I highlighted your post because it demonstrates how unbelievable it has become. Staring at walls for hours on end, or tabbing out and not playing a game for hours on end, just so you can have a 5 minute encounter here or there is not ordinary or normal behavior.
I take a different approach and stay out of the raid scene. I enjoy the other 99% of the game just fine.
If a video game guild wants me real life contact info, it can piss off.

And I respect your opinion that you do not want to be bothered with the Everquest raid scene. I am not claiming it is for everyone. I was simply trying to help OP find a way to experience the raid content without a large time commitment. It is 100% possible right now.
But a lot of people (myself included) do enjoy the raiding scene, and honestly P99 is one of the few places that still offer some measure of guild to guild competition when raiding. This is because it is almost impossible these days to find non-instanced raiding.
As for batphones, you do not need to give out your RL information. Vanquish, for example, uses Discord, which means you can just watch your Discord notifications. Not all batphones require your real phone number to be part of the equation.
