Yes an no.
Most guilds didnt get as much raid targets as on red99. Plus most moved on to new expansions. Mobs like AoW I am pretty sure died more regularly in later expansions when toons got geared more/levels. I know on my live server smaller guilds were killing Talendor as raid targets even in Luclin era thats how licked dry raid content was.
The proliferation of gear on red99 is no where near what it was truely like in era on live. That's why most guilds had a main/back up tank they channeled gear on to. They definately did not have 12 clerics in 95% bis healing and 6 tanks in 95% bis rotating when in era and 20 rogues with epics and 255 str.
Plus if you truely want a challenge go play the EQMac emh server and kill the PoP content where boxing 50% of the clerics just don't cut it. Velious/kunark/classic content is purely a numbers game.
Plus why bother? Are those 60 ac monk pants going to make that much of a difference? Soon enough those pants will have more AC than pop.
