It is an effort that we in IB and DA are willing to exert, and the rest of the server is not. It doesn't take any large amount of skill or intelligence, but it IS an effort.

There's a big difference from trying to make that effort and not being able to.

DA and IB got there first, congrats. Now you either have to join DA/IB or quit the game once you reach 50.

End game EQ is not about the mobs. It's not about the loot.

It's a game of chess against guilds. On P99 it just happens to be at an extremely hardcore level. You can whine about guilds "camping mobs" but it's much more than that. It's about strategy, picking your targets, putting pressure on your competition and taking advantage of their mistakes, ect. It's extremely cutthroat here. Definitely not for everyone.

From what I've seen GM decisions haven't really helped. On the contrary, they usually just make the situation worse because of perceived favortism, whether real or imagine, birds start chirping when guides make stupid decisions that effect the outcome of the end game in a major way,

Strategy? Sit afk until the raid mob spawns?

Picking targets - Write on a piece of paper when mob died and go afk till said raid mob spawns?

Pressure - Recruiting more lvls 50 then other guilds so you can have more people afk?

Advantage of mistakes - Mass spamming petitions to get a game master because you cant figure out who had more people afk?

Theres nothing extremely hardcore about this, there is just not enough content and too many players.

Kinda like 200 kids and only 25 chocolate bars.
