That's because there is no point in crawling. If crawling would help get FTEs, it would happen. It has nothing to do with more work. Long Plane of Growth clears seem to satisfy most people's crawling desires.

If there's no point in playing the content, what's the point in acquiring pixel upgrades?

Also, you didn't answer my previous question:

Answer honestly, how would you feel if a 2nd Blue server were opened, as far in the timeline as the current Blue server (no legacy items) but all raid mobs are on rotation? You'd get to keep your "competitive" server which is so great to so many people, and those that just want to play classic EQ in a bullshit free way can as well. Everyone gets a choice of what they want to do. Would you object to that?

I'm talking about there being a practical point to doing crawls. As in, there is no point to crawl 'just for fun', when it is not necessary. If that's how you had to win dragons... by crawling through ToV, then I'd be crawling on a regular basis, as the activity would no longer be pointless. Not sure what point you are trying to make. I don't care if the contest involves footraces or crawling.

As far as the answer to your question, why would I care if more servers with carebear rules exist? Add it to the list of classic carebear servers, makes no difference to me.

I'm just glad that Sirken made things very clear and that this competitive server will remain what it is.

The point is, if all you're doing is logging in for 15 minutes to kill dragons that were killed with Kunark gear, what's the point of getting better loot?

It kinda undermines this point you make:

The point is that the best pixels should be mostly acquired by the guilds willing to put in the work.

What's the point of doing all the work (and making other people do the work) for the best pixels if you're not even going to use them to play the game?

"If all you are doing is logging in to kill the toughest targets in the game and get the best loot in the game, then what is the point of getting better loot"? Really? You are asking what the point of getting better loot is? It's to gear our characters up. What a silly question. You know there is far more involved in getting these kills then a zerg force capable of logging in from a batphone... or maybe you don't. That wouldn't surprise me.

Again, not sure what your point here is. I'd say killing the top and most powerful dragons in Norath is 'playing the game'. I'd say doing long ass PoG clears is 'playing the game'. HoT raids going all night into the whee hours of the morning is 'playing the game'. What exact thing do you define as 'playing the game'? Crawling through ToV? Sounds fun and if there was a point to it, I'd be all for it.

Well you've made it plain problem is you, since this is all you think there is to the game and you think everyone else should cater to that. Thanks for clearing it up.
