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.

EQ is a great game for competition. However, most people are carebears and don't learn how to fully utilize their characters. It's not hard to steal a train and derail it, but most people don't want to do it because it involves more than "tank and spank".

It's just sad that p99 has the WoW mentality raiding aspect from players." Let's all do absolutely nothing challenging and all end up in the same pixels and talk in chat rooms." Sounds dumb, is dumb.
