NToV crawl meta has a much larger margin for error because one dead player or split second of distraction doesn't lose the engage. Also, the weight of winning the engage now falls on an entire zerg (60+) rather just a small crew (~5). That is not subjective.

I doubt you participated much--if at all--in that era so it's not your fault for misunderstanding.

So the spotlight is no longer shining so brightly on your face, it's not the stardom that it once was for you. It does fall on the entire zerg now, which means more than just a few folks to do the playmaking. Hard times when you are not the star.

Here's A shot and a chaser

By your own admission fewer people getting top tier loots is a good thing, yet at the same time it seems that's also what you are complaining about.

P99 will be fine, there are tons of EQ'rs who love classic EQ enough to put up with whatever kind of TOV you throw at them.

Its stood the test of time of like 10 yrs running now. Some hate rooted dragons but there are lots of others who don't know the insta pull era and will continue to raid P99 for years and years.

Just gotta take the server for what it is each time the meta changes and either enjoy it or do something else.

I hope so, p99 has been a lot of fun over the years and I'd hate to see it end up like red. I just think even with how top heavy this server is, if you need more than 10 clerics and 3 hours to clear to a dragon that it will be unsustainable.

So, is The Lion King a big advertisement for capitalism? Absolutely.

The problem isn't rooted dragons per se. It's all the other rules around raiding that wipe out smaller and medium sized guilds. I'd expect a guild leader to understand this point. Unrooting the dragons would not really make it much easier for AG against AM or Riot.

Think back to when there were 6-10 competing guilds and why this was the case

For sure. For the record im not upset about any kind of competitive challeneges between AG and Riot, if we want to be the kings of ToV we'd need to get on the recruiting as high numbers is the new meta. Just concered that there wont be much of a player base to accomplish this in the months to come. Maybe ill be wrong, maybe i wont

I am not a raider on P99, its been many years since i was in TOV(on live) but this thread and other ones like it appear to suggest that most people dont want to play the game. Or don't want to spend time raiding with your buddies, would rather sit at a zone line and watch netflix.

Some of you have become so bitter playing EQ for far too long that your only fun comes from "denying other people pixels" And to me, that just seems sad. If you are not enjoying raiding, just take a break from it and allow those that do enjoy it a chance at it.

Again, i don't raid on P99 so I am only going off what I see on these forums.
