Gear and playtime don't give an advantage.

Yep

On my cleric, or Wizard:
90% of raiding loot I use is from mid level EQ, jewelery crafted or entry level planes.

You're a moron if you think it takes gear to win at EQ, at any level in the game, in any expansion up to GoD. Gear has nothing to do with it.

Failing to strategise, have the right class combinations to suit various factors, and researching the game matter.

On P1999 it takes class combination, mobilisation, numbers, and if the former fails just retarded clickies like soulfires, traks teeth etc.

But all of those, take hours. Without hours, there is no victory on P1999, because of retarded non classic designs like variance, and non CSR zones, and a lack of any GM desire to lower their workload and have PNP.

This can be true. But you either need zerg force or some combination of skill and gear with fewer numbers.

You would be surprised just how much of both there are in the raid scene. Pick your side wisely when jumping in IMO.

buffs and prep are way more important than most gear.

Eq doesn't get hard until planes of power and even then not so much. GoD is a different story tho

Guys - This game has been out for 13 years and it's combat pace is slow as molasses.

Skill isn't much of a factor. Unless you are mentally retarded.

You would think that but go sit in places like KC on a daily basis and tell me how many geared unskilled toons you run across.
