Why is the meta to instant-kill Vindi now, what the hell changed?

I think it's related to guild size. The larger guilds can field a vindi force at any time of the day. And at times it has been a point of contention for some because it is a quick and easy source of dkp (attend or fall behind).

Some people seem to get most of their jollies by denying someone else a target rather than killing the actual target....

Then there's the OP who himself is a, much like his thread title, "pathetic looser"

It was an unforeseen consequence of rooting dragons in ToV.

Easy answer, rooted dragons. Guilds got huge and had to keep the population fed. Pre-root, AM and AW seldom bothered with Vindi, and when we did it was almost never competitive. Ditto for other lower tier mobs like Velk. People used to beg and plead in guild chat to kill Velk, and it was pretty rare that we'd actually bother. Now, he dies instantly, just like every other raid mob.

You guys realize that this whole thing is a lot less dumb with PVP right?

Step 1: classic server resets randomly and mysteriously like LIVE therefore no easily spaced raid targets for the overpowered guild.

Step 2: Take your shit guilds full force to whatever target you want and fight for it.

Step 3: Everquest no longer is a piece of shit game, it is actually fun.

It also comes into play with weak targets like lodi and vindi where with PVP enabled a small size guild can take their full force and claim these targets from larger better at FTE guilds who can't muster their entire force for weak targets since they have raiding 7 nights a week for more important mobs.

Game works better 1000% for people who actually want to play the game.

If you enjoy bitter bickering in a PVE environment with maximum GM intervention and crying about fairness in what is supposed to be an open world game, blue servers are for you.

If you enjoy a natural order of power to determine camp and loot rights, PVP enabled may be for you.

If you enjoy the actual impacts of every piece of gear on your character and in your gearbag, considering every single angle you can have an edge against actual human players versus dead 21 year old AI opponents, PVP may be for you.

Some blue guys seem to want to play EQ as if it is a single player game. I don't know why. I feel bad for those most afflicted with pixel lust / rot
