Just asking questions because I've never been told I won't win this week's lottery, but I still have to pay my money.
My personal opinion is that P99 is for classic EQ. In classic EQ, no one ever got a recurring lotto for nice loot: if you wanted scout loot, you brought a raid.

However, time-locked servers aren't classic either. On live people had Luclin, PoP, etc. gear by now. Here we have ... Scout. Still.

So, the way the community has chosen to do it is with a lotto system (which, again, still sucks less than a clickfest), and what you "pay" for your lotto ticket is a commitment to help whoever wins. It works better than anything else we've tried, even if some slackers sometimes fail to stick around.
