This i agree with to an extent, i for one am not saying domination wasn't classic on some servers. Just simply the current mechanics on this server aren't and a lot of the immature behavior that is shown throughout in certain aspects on here for sure wasn't classic. Hard to think that back then maturity and the concept of respect seemed higher than it does now when we've all aged a great deal since then. Plus it is an age old everquest ideal that the more time you put in the chance of acquiring more rewards increases across the board. However, denying content or judging others poorly who can't devote 24/7 who may be just as skilled with the fewer hours they can afford to play a game isn't right either especially if their effort is being ignored or even worse trampled on.
The level of GM involvement we see here in regards to disputes to allow for rules lawyering, which lead to other childish antics in hopes to become victorious prior to engage and after engage was almost non-existent if not completely non-existent on live. So to say that what we have here currently is classic in any regard is quite a bit of a stretch in my opinion.

Lots of stuff is not classic, but IMO the guild dynamics is close to classic. On tholuxe paells anytime a guild like FE would come up they would get crushed and be relegated to scraps. I am all for sharing some content if it was my call, but people demanding full rotations and all mobs being included is not something I would agree to. IMO if 4-5 raid mobs were left up every now and then it's 4-5 more than people are seeing now. Start with that and as more content becomes obsolete those 4-5 targets could become 7-8 or more etc.
Again i've never judged people poorly because they can't put in the time. I used to be in a casual guild because I just wanted to raid a few days a week and when we did raid i wanted it to be done effectively. I never looked down on this guild because they weren't killing trak because it wasn't within the scope of what the guild was trying to do. Even when I was in this guild when people would complain about X guild monopolizing spawns I had the same response as I do now, " if you want to get a mob you have to put in the effort, nothing is going to be given to you in this game nor should it be."
