Is the raid scene really that bad?

[Tecmos Deception]

OP: there's lots of attention paid to TMO "monopolizing" some specific epic drops, because those drops come from raid mobs that also have other loot that TMO is interested in getting. Druid, ranger, wizard, shadowknight, necromancer, bard. Those epics have drops from venril sathir, trakanon, cazic thule, innorruuk. VS drops VERY rare and often VERY nice class kunark legs, trak drops the super awesome class kunark breasplates plus stuff like manna robe. CT and Inny are mostly just desired because of the epic pieces. Etc.

The rest of the epics are doable by pretty much anyone with a just a single group of friends.


I don't know what is so "bad" about the raid scene being as it is. Lots of people dislike it because it doesn't give them what they want. But ya know, basically no part of everquest just hands out what you want. Classic epics were difficult to obtain and very rare. It's "classic" that the epics listd above are difficult to obtain and rather rare. It's just the way/reason they are rare here that is different than live, so people focus on that rather than the fact that the end result (difficult to achieve and/or rare epics) is classic.
