But these gearing raids still have tiers and "eventually" (if not immediately) you will have the same issues you have in Kunark/Classic (which by your definition are "single tier" gearing, which I agree with). I personally feel its best for the Server to define these tiers, define the method of entry and inclusion into these tiers, and then let everyone have a piece of the pie. TMO's rank and file seems to feel that you fight for every piece of ground you wish to have. I don't think a consensus will be made between these two philosophies, and the "competition" philosophy is the lowest common denominator within the current raid rules.
My system doesn't work for everyone. Those that enjoy the PVP aspect of a PVE server (if you don't understand that, please feel free to excuse yourself from the conversation) will not enjoy it. But those who play on a PVE server for PVE challenges (albeit "easy", 13 year old ones) will have a fair playground to see the world they missed or remember from 13 years ago, free of drama. Both systems are expandable to accommodate additional content, but the "competition" philosophy creates a "trickle-down" effect while the "socialistic" philosophy allows persons and guilds to progress at their own pace.
People like Fountree (reference a different thread) would still have things to do in Kunark were this server to use the "socialistic" philosophy.

Its not even about tiers its about the availibility of targets. The hardcore competition would exist on the harderst mobs that provide the best loot. But, honestly there isn't a guild out there who could compete with TMO on these targets, so the point is largely moot. The good stuff comes in with the length of times these raids can take. PoG gear may not be a TMO target but other guilds like BDA, FE, Full Circle, Asgard etc will benefit from trash and mini-boss kills there. Same goes for a large portion of kael armor drops(Thurg Armor). Once TMO is running through NToV(which wont take long) Vindi drops will lose most of the appeal. Also, he is what an 8 hr spawn?
Do you really think a TMO occupied in NToV is going to be able to make it quickly to a Dain, Vindi Velk, or Tormie pop?(provided variance is still in effect).
Velious will allow more casual raid teams to get a much larger "piece of the pie".
