Why do Awakened members even stay?

What qualifies as best? Serious question. Lay down the parameters.

On Phinny it's about who competes open world. Organization, quality of players, and consistency. I'm sure everyone believes they have the best players in their guild over another, but not really relevant if not dominating the open world content.

not even remotely close to the truth. competing on open world spawns is a joke on phinny.

I never said they weren't a joke compared to here, but if you aren't competing open world, then your kills don't matter. They are instanced. How are you going to say you're better than another guild by killing targets in your own instance lol. It's as ridiculous as it sounds.

How do open world work on there? Why wouldn't it just all
Be instanced at this point

Currently, every zone has an open world version. So if you're downing your instance + dominating the open world as well, your guild is getting 2-3x the loot everyone else is that are just sticking to casual instancing.

Interesting. How you do choose if you want the instanced version or open world?

Open world is just the regular zone just like here on p99. There's an npc called the Agent of Change whom you can access the instanced version with a group or more. It's usually located in or close to the zone you're trying to access. Then there are picks you can spawn. It's another instance of the open world. So lets say there are 40+ people in lower guk, a lower guk 1 will pop to accommodate the number of people in an open world zone. Raid bosses don't usually spawn in a pick.

Quite. You just summed up instanced raiding.

EQ is a PVE game you nuts. If you can clear the content faster, with fewer numbers, and earlier in an expansion you are better at the game. Open world in contrast is simply about who neckbeards harder in terms of poopsocking, training, and getting up at 3AM.

This.

Some people don't really care about being better and will happily just faceroll with 72 and just enjoy hanging out in voice chat bullshitting about Taco Bell and shit.
