I 100% agree with this quote. Once NToV, a few dragons, and a few named giants are live, the raid scene moves there. The same types of poopsocking, training, and leap frogging are going to happen without a strong GM team. Those of us that raided on live remember the strong GM presence via the bannings/suspensions etc... Think back and remember why Sony moved to instances raiding... Most of us in the end game were actually happier with instances once we got use to them...
We have some real issues on this server that change the classic experience.
1. Expansions and patches do not happen nearly as much as classic.
2. While the GMs here work hard, they are no where near as present as on live.
3. Everyone has a huge bank of internet resources to assist them in EQ. (maps, vent/team speak, highly organized message boards, walk throughs, batphone!.)
4. Spawn variance...
The raid scene here is different from classic due to the above. That means that the raid scene is already not classic.
We are on a so called "friendly" PvE server. If racing, training, and leapfrogging one another are why everyone plays on this server then so be it. That said, I highly doubt that the majority of the server enjoys that type of play...
I like the idea of instances/tolkens as it promotes friendly play (which is what this server is meant to be) and it keeps average guild sizes lower. Considering the server admin doesn't like the way the raid scene is playing out, (see his post on a previous page,) I would suggest people add to this conversation in a more constructive manner.
