This is the kind of mentality that is wrong with the casuals. I don't often commend Sirken but I do in this situation. Why? Because no matter the situation and no matter who you are trying to cater to, someone will always try and get the upper hand. Move A/A to red? Next up and coming guild will decide they want more and will become the new A/A in time and someone will complain. You can't cater to everyone so you need to cater to the people who are willing to invest the most time into the project. I'm not saying it's smart to spend all your time in EQ but there are literally plenty of other progression type servers where you can play instanced raiding while still getting the dose of "OGC is better than AoS." The mentality still exists there but instead MQ is used.
When classic EQ was in Velious, 0 Targets were up in NToV. I was on Povar and Triton was clearing it constantly so the number 2 guild would not have a shot. People gravitate towards this game because the more time you put in, the more you will get. People like the feeling of superiority in video games. That applies to playing an Multi-player FPS with friends, Raiding instances in WoW or to classic EQ. In Everquest to feel superior you need to neckbeard and it is neckbearding to the fullest extent. Some people thrive and love that. Those people will always shit on the people who aren't willing to. This will always be the issue, there is no solution to the problem. The game was created this way and always has been this way. Anything different isn't classic Everquest.

Don't you see the kind of circular logic at play here? Well people don't want to raid because there is too much socking, we better just cater to the people that want to sock because they are the ones willing to sock.
Theoretically, this server isn't even about what people want. Its about making the game classic. If the developers of EQ saw the kind of instant single pulling to zone that exists here -- do honestly think they would be OK with that?
This is clearly not how the game was designed to work. There were all kinds of stupid exploits that people took advantage of that never existed on p99. This is because it was obviously not how the game was supposed to work. When AD found a way to kill The Sleeper through an exploit -- they weren't congratulated for their innovation -- they were all suspended.
It was always a tiny minority of people that thought EQ was all about beating some guild to the spawn. It didn't even exist on most servers (which only had 1 raid guild). This whole play style is a bastardization of EQ.
