They didn't want to instance EQ, it went against the MMO idea, I'll grant you that. What I don't agree with at all, is the conclusion you jump to (with no intervening logic) that "MMO factor" means that competition by guilds for raid targets was ever intended to be an integral, primary mode of play. For YOU and the "top 20%", maybe that it is what it is all about. The rest of us want to play the game WITH other players, against the environment - Not GVG against TMO.
