Raiding in P1999 is nothing like raiding in classic.

wow, I just spent way too much of my life reading this thread. I probably will never get to raiding levels on this server so it doesn't really bother me but I can understand from both sides. One side wants small guilds to be able to experience raids once in a while, the other side puts in the work and doesn't want to give it away for free.

The only thing I don't really get is if you have all the gear you need and raids in Kunark really aren't challenging or very fun at all really what's the fun of it?
1. Getting there first to be the best? (block others from getting)
2. Putting another item in guildbank for sale (what does millions in the bank even buy or is there a Scrooge McDuck swimming around in it all somewhere for fun)
3. Gearing up alts or new recruits?
(None of these things could ever get me personally to wake up at 3am, have a lousy tired day at work the next day to do, but to each their own)

I guess that's the question that puzzles me.

When you have a game that progression is 100% entirely tied to items why would you be surprised that people play the game to get as many of said items as possible?
