I really don't get what is so fun and fulfilling about this idea of "competition" on a 13 year old game. 24/7 raiding, racing, training, FTE rule lawyering... that's your idea of fun competition? There are plenty of games out there that offer real competition in the form of functional PVP. EQ is not one of them, and the idea that the tactics used here are somehow something to be proud of, or enjoyable for anyone involved, is baffling to me.

EQ at its best is about cooperation and community, not about stomping on each others throats and being complete douchebags to each other. I know this will sound like a crazy concept to some, but EQ really is more fun if you just relax, work with other guilds rather than against them, and log into a PVP or FPS game when you need to take out your aggression. The raid culture here is so incredibly messed up... it's really much worse than it ever was on live, and that's a damn shame.
