If you accept bullshit psychological models, OP, Kubler/Ross suggests you are in stage 3:
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance
You need to skip to stage 5 and realize that raiding on this server WILL ALWAYS SUCK. The staff here want a competitive server, i.e. they enjoy watching players get up at 5AM on New Years for a server reset. Since the content is not challenging and never will be, Project 1999 raiding will always be about poopsocking. It has been this way for the entire life of the server because that is the way the staff want it.
So either a) accept that it sucks and play here anyway, b) move to another server like Phinigel/TAKP/P2002, or c) go outside.

If bullshit means nearly impossible to prove than yeah, but 1-5 aren't said to happen in order or anything, it's all supposedly interchangeable and overlapping which makes sense. Ex. Being angry but accepting something with bitter resignation — a death, a president, the state of the world, virtual or real.
I get what you're saying but can't agree altogether about raiding on this server
always sucking. If a new player joins p99 wanting to achieve it all than yeah, their experiences at the high end will probably suck big time. Maybe it's that raiding sucks more and more the higher you go, the deeper you get involved with it, idk but there are people on the periphery who show up and have a good time overall. Maybe going after less sought after targets (low-hanging fruit) is just a form of bargaining, and maybe this post is a form of denial, but it's permafrost outside right now so going out isn't much of an option.
a) accept that it sucks and raid lightly or focus on groupable content b) find a good single-player game c) make your own server the way you want it.
