No one is saying EQ takes skill. However, a big part of being a capable player and raider in the game is being knowledgeable and prepared. TMO ran in and engaged trak half cocked before they had the force to take it down and wiped. You essentially went into an event that you yourself claim is trivial and wiped. Even though we had more players online than you when he spawned, we waited until we knew we had the force to kill him. Draw what conclusions from that you want as far as the notions of skill, knowledge, and ability are concerned.

Also, if you could adapt your humanitarian food drop analogy to the most recent Trak I think it might help me understand it better. Not sure how you can fail at something that you yourself compared to being as simple as eating.
