I don't get why people feel they need to diminish how much TMO is dominating the server by claiming it is only because they care the most. That is how EQ has always worked. That is actually how most things work. People who care about things are generally good at those things. You guys should honestly be grateful they're being mildly cool about it with the whole opening up mobs and not being too big of cocks on the forums. IB weren't dicks on the forums, but I can't think of more than one or two times we actually gave someone else a mob. Sure, 90% of the gear those mobs drop is probably worthless to TMO, but just about everything drops something worth looting, so it is cool of them regardless.
As for competition, it'll come back. Right now is just like it was with IB and Trans or IB and DA. Back then IB got 99% of the mobs too, and it was like that for like a year. Either new content or prolonged periods of old content will eventually change that. New content brings old players back which reinvigorates competition. Prolonged old content sees a huge exodus of players from the top guilds - with people disappearing faster than are being recruited, smaller guilds move in an are able to compete because fielding a 35 man raid at 2am becomes impossible for basically everyone. Same shit, just different people.
