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.

Perhaps I'm just not understanding the entire concept. I have no issue with a random roll for all players who want Scout. I do think the "winner" should be the one to field a team instead of thinking those that lost and now have nothing to gain are in fact, obligated to help.
Like rolling for the AC ring. (if that were a thing) After losing the roll being told you now have to help kill the AC. Wait, what?
