Ya the more I learn about the end game the more it disappoints. But I can’t say it was a surprise, people had been warning me on the forum for years
It seems that after killing a named raid mob the uber guilds will just set a timer to know the second it will spawn again, and then just leave their char logged out right at that spot, ready to log it on a minute before it spawns. Leaving their char logged out for like a week doesn’t affect them, because they have multiple max or near-max level chars
Even bosses like some dragons that require lower levels (51 or less I believe?) can’t be killed by newer players because the uber guilds have alts permanently kept at those levels where that dragon spawns, logged out with a timer running
So maybe I should start getting more into alt-making…

It's not nearly as bad as you make it out to sound. For instance, Vox and Naggy aren't even major targets for guilds in Velious, so smaller guilds have a much better chance of getting them now.
But when talking about
any raid mob here, you have to remember that Rogean and Nilbog want things to require unclassic levels of effort ... because we have unclassic amounts of raid players here vs. live, and the only other way to solve that would be with unclassic instancing or unclassic rotations.
And thankfully, while they used to be
purely about the unclassic effort (ie. "competition") solution back in the day (which led to one raid guild monopolizing all top-end raiding for
years), they've since started mixing in rotations (eg. "bag limits"). Quite honestly, raiding on P99 is better now than it was years ago ... unless you were in TMO years ago.
P.S. One thing everyone seems to be forgetting is that the Green-Blue merge will coincide with a brand new Green 2.0 server. No one knows if they'll be staggered or happen at the same time, but the point is very soon a new server will open up, and that giant mess of Blue-Green players are going to largely abandon "new merged Blue" to play on Green 2.0.
