There would still be intra guild politics and allegiances, deals, etc. For example main guild A offers dkp and partial rolls or priority to alts for guild b for assisting on kills, learning strats is ez for newbies, and everyone can participate.

It would just reduce the number of petitions for the staff.

Where have I heard that before

I'm someone with many friends in ST, and I can confirm that they simply cannot muster up a suitable raid force on Saturdays and that is the reason why the GMs have stuck to releasing content on Fridays throughout the Green server. It would be nice for there to be some dragons alive on a Saturday so everyone else could finally get a shot.

“Hey everyone I swear I heard this from someone who knows someone who knows this is true”

Sure buddy whatever you say lol

So letting Detoxx fully gear his level 46 alt army is more fun for the server?

People play this game expecting the rewards of a modern MMO with instancing.

We're all stuck in one of three instances. They are all dominated by a guild for the most part.

If you want to get raid loot, join the zerg, quit your job, get out a batphone, put in the time, and profit.

Or, lower your standards and grab some velious quest armor on Blue.

This problem will never be solved. Classic Everquest is peak Darwin/Capitalism. The most dedicated fighters win it all and keep winning and their 4th alt has better gear than you ever will.

PVP is the answer, which is essentially what rule lawyering is without all the fun of pvp. It's driving your competition to quit because of how tedious and devious you can be with 100 page Google docs like you're at the fucking supreme court.

I think creative solutions exist and a custom P99 server with them would be super fun, but I think the staff has had all the passion driven out of them by the demands of the server apex predators rule lawyering to get their guild that extra one item a week, edge out their competition, and cruit their way to the top.

So game over, move on, play something else, or get on that Elder Dragon server with instanced raids and see if that gives you what you want.

Most dedicated fighter or most dedicated autonomous drone?

Unroot the dragons. Let guilds train eachother, stall pulls, kite just don't answer petitions. That sounds good to me

OP maybe you should consider the Firiona Vie Project or another server like that.
