Remember when they disallowed content during classic everquest?

"Top raiders" is a joke lol... we are all regurgitating strats on fights that were solved years ago... calling anyone a "top raider" on p99 is an insult to everyone who has ever had to figure out content on their own

Philosophically, yes. Practically? There is a reason that one guild consistently dominates for a period of time.

If you are a consistent winner, it’s because you are better. If you are on the losing end, it’s because they are no life neck beard cheaters that regurgitates old strats. Which one are you?

Actually, that is what sets P99 apart. None of this is about figuring out content. It is an ever evolving strategy of beating other real players. Everquest has never been hard because of the PVE, it is hard because of the other players in your PVE.

That’s what makes EQ unique. PVEVP. Nothing else like it that I know of!

You couldn't be more wrong, you obviously don't raid much / at all. If everyone was just regurgitating the same strats there would be a more even spread across the guilds right? Notice how some guilds get more kills than others? And more consistently? That ain't just from regurgitating the same strat. Yes people understand the mechanics and mob info etc, but that doesn't mean no new strats are ever developed. Sit back down in the gallery and be happy you're getting handouts.

You are confusing "skill" and "the ability to track 24 hours per day" as the same thing. No one wants to "compete" against people who treat P99 like a job.

The top raiders sort out and deal with the bleating and constant demands for changes right now by design.

When a certain threshold of ridiculousness is reached and refused, the bleaters berate the staff. This is to say when the responsibility of dealing with the idiots becomes too much for the people being loosely forced to do so, it goes back up, and what comes down is "do a better job appeasing the idiots cuz I'm mad now that I'm dealing with it again". If that starts to fail, classic content is customized with one change after another "solving" nothing and costing the community a more classic experience

The solution is obvious, but a possible lower pop count isn't gonna make a great shining case for a game article/mag interview.

Hey I love classic EQ who wants to play during cool, normal hours?

From what I understand it's a form of pixel welfare designed to appease the plebs (read: the guilds on this server who need more than 2 hours to kill Talendor)

You have no idea bro Faydiddleydar is really hard to kill

[Wokka]

It's welfare pixels for those who want instanced zones and rotated content so they can just log in and get their handout. WoW is a much better option for those that want that. Funny how it's called a draft "week" when it goes for 8-9 days. I was always of the understanding a "week" was 7 days. Inb4 the whingers bitch and moan their way to a draft "month".
