Problem is, those 'some people' can block hundreds from content. The way you phrase your comment would suggest that its simply a time investment. When its not that simple. Time does not = success. Opportunity does. This is why no game after EQ that was a major success ever used this mechanic again. Even Brad McQuaid himself in his other game, and Im fairly certain Pantheon - abandoned this tactic.

Ive been on both ends. It stinks.

Except you're wrong. That time investment is also a choice. Nothing those people do prohibits you from attempting to get an FTE as well. They aren't blocking hundreds of people of those hundreds are not even attempting to race for an FTE.

Set respawn on everything to 2 hours, remove all raid rules. Would be great.

You guys laugh but honestly Maner is right. This has happened time and time again over the years and you guys would be fools to ignore it. Hell, some of you were involved in the transition of power.

A/A isn't the problem, it's A/A leadership and the enabling nut-huggers-of-the-month that have been pulling this same bullshit for the entire history of this server regardless of guild name. There's no way CSG and CSG-like guilds would come close to monopolizing content in the same fashion. There aren't that many people who make a career of P99 raiding the same way dweebs like Detoxx do.

Get them out of the way and things will get way better. This can easily be accomplished either through lockouts or additional servers, or since they break rules every month, disbandment.
