Players will always compete for raid mobs; the point of contention is the rules

If TMO didn't have a monopoly on VP how would purchased all your gear like you do now?

At lower prices due to competition? /boggle

Only on the internet and quite possibly in online games communities would any of these qualities be openly paraded and held up as reasonable. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

Thanks a lot RNF.

Perfectly said.

And even then, most of us feel nothing but pity for someone who is proud of having such qualities. Life must be miserable for some, so give them their ounce of glory to help ease the pain.

Show of hands who wants to watch and referee plane of fear and VP raids that start by getting out of bed at 3am/coming home from work and then lasting for several hours? Every week. For free. No pixels.

Tried to fight this fight several times, but it's an exercise in futility because there's enough simpletons on P99 who think saying "deal with it" and "cry moar" makes them cool people, and/or who desire to keep most players out of the endgame in order to remain part of the elite, so the problem is never fixed. The admins don't seem to want to acknowledge the issue, either. It's a pity, because it has always been by far the biggest problem and the one elephant in the room that keeps this server from being truly great. It's also the cause of countless other problems, such as the widespread RMTing which takes place largely because it's the only way for most players to "progress" since there simply isn't room for more swinging dicks in the raid scene.

This situation isn't classic -- in fact it's precisely a product of an overwhelmingly unclassic factor: there's only one server and no solution to the fact that it has like five servers worth of would-be endgame players. The problem is expressly a consequence of it being an emulated server instead of classic live EQ, but it's somehow defended as a feature of classic EQ. It makes no sense and it's such a blemish on the server, its main failing and the root of very nearly every other problem that plagues it. What a joke, really. Horrible mismanagement of what could have been the perfect Everquest experience for thousands of players.

You know Platlord was caught and banned? Widespread RMTing? More like under the table shit here and there that you couldn't find out about no matter what you did. It's not a huge issue anymore, I don't think.

The raid scene wasn't designed to support thousands, this timeline is the problem with that. Velious will alleviate but not solve this problem.

And yet when BDA proposed a red week there were like 5 TMO that participated? Zilo, Sericx, a few others, and you weren't among them? You sure love to open your mouth and back it up with a massive pile of nothing.
