To even claim this game was remotely designed for it is beyond delusional. You want "competition" in an old school MMO that's fairly simple, go play on a PVP server, thats literally your "ACTUAL COMPETITION". <~Not seeing who can bogart all the raid loot to one guild(that is NOT competition, thats a fact)..

It's insane seeing how some of the player base speak to each other in these forums. It's sure as hell not how i remember EQ. It's always had people on edge and a bit too tense. But now it seems you have this type that wants "competition"(aka, bogarting npc's) and those that want to give snarky remarks about people who don't live in a 20+ year old game.. As if they should be knowledgeable about the game in the way you are, like wtf people?

To end my rant, thank you to those that are actual pillars to this community. The servers LITERALLY need it. Otherwise people like twochain and the other naysayer's to people enjoying the game, would of killed it loooong before any dev or GM would.
You would be hard pressed to find somebody who has been more welcoming and helpful to new players than myself, Friend.

In response to "cutting back how cutthroat the competition is and allow for some limited sharing of content" - NO. Go somewhere else if you want that. There's plenty of other options. This is the only competitive server that hasn't been nerf nuked to hell and double wrapped in plastic bubbles within bubbles.

You (general you) don't deserve content that you aren't willing to sacrifice and put in the time and effort to see that content / pixels. If you want a participation trophy of content / pixels, go to any of the multiple options where you can do that.
if the suggestion was to do away with competition even half of the time, you'd had a point here. But when you (the general you) cry as much as some people do over a draft week one week out of every thirteen, it's hard to take them seriously.

I don't think it's competition you all are really after.

Imagine equating 7 years into velious farming as competition. The game was won 6 years ago. You weren't there, hope that helps.
Imagine being a Rampage era mage main that's been on the server for 10 years and giving up EPIC LESS

Soulcommander installed the game for the first time, got level 60, and got epic in 3 months.. what are you even doing?? (hope this helps)

Ahh another person that just doesn't understand it either. I was in Riot for 16 months, 10 of which were uncontested free unlimited pixels.....BORING AF!

There was no sense of achievement as there was nothing to lose to.

So, I believe we all now know that those of you complaining about pixels, "bogarting content", "imagine..." and yada yada yada just don't get it and never will because you want things without any effort put into it.

(double post because bad, levels of sad/mad debatable)

"Kill riot, make 1:1 rotation with AG. This is the goal."

Spoken like a true competitor who values competition for its own sake

A one guild server is not only boring, it's awful if you're a rank and file member like most players. Leadership will treat you like dirt if they know you have no other options.

just responding to a couple of your points. RE: #2, this would be easier to believe if vanquish ever actually took responsibility for it's trains, and if they didn't seem to happen week after week, even when the competing raid force wasn't anywhere close to the vanquish raid.

Because it's a slippery slope and we never come back from it. If you wan't charity and free pixels without competition, go to another server. There's plenty out there, stop trying to castrate the only legitimate competitive server in existence.
