The point isn't loot or competition, the point is to feel like you're good at video games, and p99 allows AM to do this by 'denying their enemy of pixels,' as Dannyl put it.

If the point was just loot, they would all play on a private server. If the point was competition, they'd actually try to foster competition instead of domination. The point is to win as much as possible while having an audience to feel better than.

Now that they have a rival guild again? "Oh you're a zerg guild so we're actually better still, we are doing more with less! We are underdogs!" Another guild gets the same pixels AM has via a rotation, alliance, or an AM raid ban? Those don't count, those are "welfare pixels." No targets to raid in game? Time to get that endorphin hit by trash talking in RnF!

Don't get me wrong, people in other guilds find ways to try to feel good about themselves too, but AM is only different in how they go about it, not in the core goal they're trying to achieve.
