ts just like in real life, when you want something, you don't go up to a millionaire and say "its not fair, you got more than I do" then go whine to the government aka server admins "hey they got more than we do, take some from them and give it to me".
Millionaires didn't become millionaires by sitting around waiting for spawns in a free mmorpg. That's not skill. That doesn't show you are the best. It doesn't show anything except you play 24/7. We need to move away from this idea that the "best" equates to getting the most raid mobs. That only shows you have the time to play.
That being said, the current rules REWARD TIME. I think this is a sad, one dimensional way to look at raiding especially in a non-instanced game. What is the point in having a non-instanced environment if in all reality people are just WAITING for a spawn to be rewarded with gear. Considering the raid encounters now are basically no-fail if you have enough people/proper classes then the game is basically a food stamp line where those who wait in line the longest get the most stamps. I wouldn't call those people the best, just playing by the "rules" by dedicating a huge chunk of their time to the game.
I think this is what needs to change.

And obviously, the millionaire who has the money, did something to earn it most of the time. Just as they waited it out aka did something to get their loot. If I put more time/effort into something than you do, I SHOULD get the pay off. You're right, the people who get the kills have the time to throw at this game, and when you put it that way it sounds like the usual QQ casuals throw around, being that they want all the stuff that the people who put a lot of the time into the game have with less work. If you want gear, and you want to get gear, get organized, get people who play all the time in your guild so that you don't have to have someone sit and camp it for days.
I guess my point is, take it from them, don't expect them to hand it to you, because they won't. If you can't take it from them, then you don't necessarily deserve to have it. One of the best guilds in EQ until PoP was a small guild named Fires of Heaven, they used very small numbers and were very effective against raid mobs. Skill doesn't always equal gear, but time invested in a game will always trump skill. An average player who plays too much will have better gear than a great player who just plays every so often. More chances at item drops, more time trading in EC, more time for finding better groups like Efreeti and such.
I'm sorry you don't have the time
