A reply to a thread in the Raid Discussion section.

I didnt read your whole post bc it is very long, however I dont think that doljon's stance is that outrageous. They came here to play a competitive mmo, all or most of the "tier 2" guilds refused to compete on this server bc they did not feel that the raid scene was worth the amount of effort it required. With the new PnP situation and a few additional tweaks that have been offered like reduced variance, no alt army camping/socking, and pre determined/random simulated respawns most of the activity they did not want to participate in has/will be curbed. However now we are seeing that these guilds are not actually that interested in competing on the leveled playing field that they have been wanting for years, they now want opportunities to raid mobs without having to compete with the established raiding guilds on the server at all. They feel that they have waited long enough to deserve attempts at raid targets that are not also contested by the guilds that previously made the effort to obtain the mobs they wanted. This in my opinion is a poisonous attitude to take toward the classic everquest raid scene.
