Staff - Players - TMO, a Treatise on the Future of the Server

[Bruman]

What people fail to realize is that the majority of the server just isn't interested in playing how TMO plays.

EQ is a poor game to try be competitive in. It's just not designed for it. The challenge is in downing the mob, anything after that is artificial and generally silly to care about.

Everyone knows there are several guilds that can kill most raid targets, and at least TMO and BDA can handle the top end stuff too (like Gore, Trak, and honestly after VP keys are finished for the teeth we have, VP shouldn't be a problem either). So at that point the game becomes "who can train better in VP" and "who can wake up more raiders to log on at all hours", which is a really stupid game to play.
