Still you don't deny your matra, or borg directive...you just make excuses for it. Excuses that are so far in the past, that it could matter less. No one playing now really cares about how IB dominated the end game raiding with shadyness. Maybe we can agree to fix things that are fixable now? Which is how we are handling the end game raid scene presently.

I'm sorry but the only things that are "fixable" in relation to the raid scene at the moment is FTE shouts and the release of Velious.
I actually prepared a document the other day to explain why the raid scene is more stagnated by lack of development than player interaction. In addition to FTE shouts, here's what the release of Velious would entail;

22 raidmobs in Classic+Kunark
Now for Velious alone

Master of the Guard
Final Arbiter

At least 40 mobs added in Velious that are worthwhile. Kunark and Classic have 22. I would guess that we would only want VS, Phara, Fay, Trak, and when we need scales- What dragons drop them, plus the gods themselves. (CT/Inny) (Due to the planes revamps)
Velious release would put the number of mobs we care about to 48, out of 62, or 24 mobs on which we give 0 fucks regularly, and most of Kunark mobs would be only relevant to us for a short period of time and we certainly wouldn't be camping alt forces at them.
Now lets think of what we'll actually get. I'll say well..... out of the ones we want, we'll get about 85%, or 40-41 mobs out of each 62 cycle, or 2/3rds or so of all mobs.
The problem isn't us working together, the problem is them releasing Velious. This server has become so incredibly stagnant that plenty of unskilled level 60's want to enter the raid scene but don't have the leadership or the dedication to do so.
This is intended to be a "Classic" EQ experience, but it cannot be if the timelines are stretched so far beyond their normal timelines that there just ends up with too much player inflation in the endgame.
I came to this server with three friends and started TMO, made good choices, passed leadership to Zeelot and now they are even better than I had hoped they could be. It was a long hard fight to get here, every hour of the day, every day of the week for months and months on end.
Do you honestly think any one would be willing to give up things they worked so hard for just to, "Make things better!".
I'm sorry, this isn't real-life, you aren't starving Ethiopians or the animals on the sad commercials on TV. This is a game we play to have fun, in games- you have fun winning. I don't see any reason to be charitable to people wanting to win without them giving the same effort we did, as no one would ever have done the same for us.
If you're not having fun? Don't fucking play, if your "fun" is bitching about how you could have more fun if we had less- Go fuck a tree.
If you want my/TMO's primary concern to be your enjoyment of the game, then you'll have to join TMO. I'm sorry, but I can't in good conscience make "everyone else's" enjoyment of the server take priority over the people who have been with me this whole time, whom without- we might be under the same retarded tyranny we were when IB ran the server.
