Raiding in P1999 is nothing like raiding in classic.

Shouldn't a hard-working, dedicated guild that puts in 20 hours a week be able to access VP? It should take them twice as long to get geared up for VP, and once they get there they'll only get to access it half as much as a guild that spends 40 hours ... but they should still be able to access it right?

That's not the same thing with less effort, it's half the thing with half the effort.

EQ doesn't work that way. That's how WoW is setup...things are instanced, you get badges/tokens/whatever and you accumulate enough you can trade them in for a piece of loot.

In EQ the time commitment is getting the contested content in the first place. Not to mention in the case of VP you're competing just to gain access to the zone as it requires drops from another contested raid target.

In order for Guild A to progress, Guild B cannot. There is no "do half the work and get half the reward" option. That's just the game folks, take it or leave it...
