This allowed more guilds to compete. You'd see 4 or 5 guilds in ToV competing for a dragon pop before rooted dragons. Something like Aftermath, the newly formed Riot, Azure Guard (pre-merge) and Kittens (pre-merge). Two top raiding guilds and two casual guilds competing in a way all four of them could win at.

After push interrupt got nerfed and dragons were rooted, you needed more players to crawl ToV. This basically killed the ability for Azure Guard, Kittens, or an alliance of smaller guilds to compete. It forced the server into a meta where you had to be in one of the two big raiding guilds to get the good content. Otherwise you had to be content with scraps and sky raids.

Why are dragons rooted anyway? What did players do to get them rooted?

Used tactics to trivialize the raid content

This. People know how to crawl ToV quite well now. It isn't any more challenging than pulling to ToV entrance. You just need more people to crawl ToV.

The competition between multiple guilds trying to get the dragon was the real challenge, not the mechanics of the encounter itself. People have had 10+ years to master the mechanics of the encounter.

Casual shitters couldn't hack it and somehow convinced GMs they were entitled to pixels

endless petitions / raid bans / etc

The Green Title Syndicate thought rooting the dragons would slow down lawyerquest, they were wrong.
