EQ has always been about a rewarding and rich social experience. The middle-management spreadsheet meta enjoyed by the top autists is merely a thread in the social fabric of the server. As much as they would like to think so, it's only a small portion of what the server life is all about. The server does not revolve around Trak kills or VP keys, and I'm am sure that data can show the vast majority of players never reach the raid stage nor do they want to. For every 20 of them, one goes on to sit there and count his points and think himself more important than the players they now denigrate.

These few think themselves the core of EQ experience because of the intensity of their feelings, but children always think Christmas is about them.
