If all you're interested in is doing something you did 15 years ago again for the feels then there are plenty of servers where you don't need to compete to do that.

There were some rotations on live but most of them weren't inclusive to the entire server either. I know on xev for instance Ntov went to whoever killed aary, which meant you had 3-4 guilds racing to kill aary. While it wasn't an FTE race it was still a race and a competition.

On P99 being able to beat the mechanics of an encounter is 10% of the battle, securing the mob is the real fight.

Not raiding. That sounds like the First person shooter crowd mentality. You're saying the raid itself doesn't matter, and asking me what's the point of playing? I'm actually stumped... Just wow.

I guess we can relate a little bit. Although I never played live during this Era, (hence being here) I've been on this server no more than 2 years, and took a 5 month hiatus. There is very little my Druid needs other than obsessing over minor stat changes and maybe a Flowing thought item from CT. On the same note, what's the point of racing people for raid targets? I don't gain any satisfaction from that whatsoever. /shrug
