Same reason every Kunark era guild was interested in Faydedar and Maestro?

EQ Itemization leads to 1 maybe 2 good items per dragon among a sea of bad or mediocre items.

Even at the height of TMO or IB's dominance, there was never a point where a SoW sword, GH Staff, Green Scales, PD Robe/Crown/Ear dropped that multiple people, many times mains, were very interested in bidding on, putting in interest for, or blowing a loot council member to acquire.

The same guild could've farmed VP from 2012-2016, and with the natural progression of new blood in and out, people would still want those rare chase items. Such is EverQuest.

I like Oxford commas because it makes it very clear what you mean.

Example 1: I had a great time at the bachelor party. The night was unforgettable because of the strippers, David and John.

Example 2: I had a great time at the bachelor party. The night was unforgettable because of the strippers, David, and John.

In the first example, the lack of the Oxford comma allows the reader to assume this bachelor party included 2 male strippers named David and John.

Whereas in the second example, the inclusion of the Oxford comma lets the reader know the three entities (strippers, David, John) are what made the night unforgettable.

This is the way the value of the Oxford comma was explained to me. If you're an English major, or someone who fancies themself a gramma fiend, inform as to why I'm wrong. I love learning.

yea the choke points really suck in this game for certain things, but wasn't fay /maestro both epic mobs you NEEDED for your guild? im not saying what awakened is doing something hasn't been done time n time again. just at this point 3/4 parties are working together and it seems to work. i guess its really just EQ in its general nature, the have and have nots wanting those sweet pixels. i hope it all works out in the end tho. i blame chardok aoe!

Wrong , we had to drag the alts of apps (in there first day in guild) into VP to loot GH Staff. We had green scales pile up too.

Since the rotation is dead, I propose GMs bring back no CSR VP. The content is (for the most part) trivial now, and this pull to zone BS is lame. Let us train, let us use ledges, camp raid forces out where ever.. make it like the wild west of P99. You guys know you don't want to deal with the squabbling and rule lawyering that is bound to result from the rotation dying.

Make VP great again.
