Gear and playtime don't give an advantage.

People that have no life and play EQ 10+hours a day are hard to come by, and they are all in the top guilds already.

Eq doesn't get hard until planes of power and even then not so much. GoD is a different story tho

Guys - This game has been out for 13 years and it's combat pace is slow as molasses.

Skill isn't much of a factor. Unless you are mentally retarded.

You would think that but go sit in places like KC on a daily basis and tell me how many geared unskilled toons you run across.

A 50p Dwarven Ringmail Tunic is a better raiding piece than most Trak BPs.

As a standpoint from a new players, if I were to play 2 Ogre SK's the one that I give the Ebon Mace to is going to level faster and be able to solo mobs at lower health, less deaths and able to kill higher levels mobs at faster rate.

I get your point, but gear does effect solo play and overall group output a lot. In raiding probably not a huge deal as long as everyone plays their role correctly - as Thulack said 50 intelligent players outweighs 30 geared lazy fucks. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Establishing a guild is the only hard part the actual raiding is easy as long as you have the people camped and willing to log when the mob spawns.

As it sits now it's hard to recruit dedicated people because going through a 3 week app status beeline to vp gear is much easier than joining and helping establish a young upstart.

In the end as long as you are having fun though doesn't matter .
