Fuse needs to be broken up, or bag limits need to be put in to discourage cowardice like merging the two top guilds.

The worst part is it was done with some hair brained, convoluted, multi week tracking bag limit system.

Not just a bag limit. You have a bag. You fill it. End of mobs for you.

Pick a number, all mobs are worth 1. You get 8 in a calendar week. Zero exceptions. Doesnt matter if it quakes 27 times in a week. Zero exceptions.

How would this work? You get a max kill amount and then... mobs just stay up?

How is it tantamount to cowardice? Before both guilds merged, things were agreeable enough between leadership to where there weren't eleventy petitions for CSR to comb through. The main difference between quakes was simply that one guild got kt and the other got doze, one guild got vulak and the other tunare. Occasionally there would be a dain or yeli lost/gained here or there but, even so, this was all more in line with classic.

Even during Luclin, raid guilds claimed NTOV by killing Aary. That was the gatekeeper. 24-48 hours to kill everything else. From reading, this was true on multiple servers. Hardly what could be described as competitive, especially when guilds weren't mario karting each other to get Aary.

The wording here underscores why "competitive" EQ failed despite numerous efforts to keep it going on p99. For whatever reason, there's this need to always push the envelope, seeing what can be gotten away with, even on the forums. If that had been toned down, decent chance the raid scene wouldn't be what it is today.

to quote the great Dannyl: P99 isn't about loot. Its about denying your enemies their pixels.

its always been about dunking on people outside your own tribe, a theme as old as humanity itself

It's cowardice because it actively crushed every other guild on the server who wanted to compete by making the largest guild in server history. It's cowardice because you did it as Gravity was growing and getting wins.

It was terrible for the health of the server, and the quick pop decline is proof of that.

You say competitive raiding has failed on EQ? Well then why don't you guys agree to split the loot evenly amongst the guilds? If you disagree with competition so much, let's just rotate it. Or hell, bag limits.

But you won't do that. You'd never do that. Because you are selfish and cowardly.
