heh, rotations.
i generally don't comment on blue server issues. but i have a question for you guys;
EQ is a competitive mmo based around the downing of mobs. downing the mob provides a sense of accomplishment provided only because of the competition from other guilds for those same contested mobs. i seriously doubt any of you feel like you did big things by downing a mob that is 12 years old, and has "how to kill" strats posted everywhere on the web, all the while there is absolutely no competition for the mob it self.
and so my question is this; if u remove the competition to downing a mob, what sense of accomplishment does killing the mob give you?

For me, its the fact that I didn't do it on Live. If I wanted a PVP game, I wouldn't come back to a notoriously PVE game.
With that said, the competition is fun, especially on some mobs. I thoroughly enjoy fighting TMO for CT when the zone fully repops. Gore last week was also enjoyable. However, VP is an entirely different animal. The training that is prevented in other zones by server rules are freely allowed in VP. If VP was managed with the same PVE rules that exist for the rest of the server, I'd be fine with competition. But griefing and competition are not the same in my opinion. If you grief, expect to be griefed, but I'll respond to competition with competition.
