Default Open Question to Blue's "Competitive" Raiders

What is better about competition on Blue than competition on Red that makes you want to compete on Blue and not on Red?

for me personally, I love the challenge of not knowing. Sitting on that starting line, for anywhere up to 1minute to 16hours, it's thrilling. I'll be there for 4-5 hours straight and I know any second the mob will spawn and the race is on. It's so much fun to just stare at my screen and wait in anticipation. I get to do this with multiple mobs a week, it's a great use of my time. When I do get that <FTE> message on an important mob like Gozzrem or Sevalak, and we pull that mob in to the camp, and i've spent 11 hours tracking it staring at my screen, and it drops some awesome loot for my guild that will really help us progress in the future. It's quite the feeling wouldn't change it for the world.

Death in EQ sucks. EQ PvP can be frustrating, because the game wasn't tuned around PvP balance. If someone wants to be a huge dick to you and inconvenience you it's very easy for them to do so in EQ PvP. This is why most people don't play on Red, and won't try it.

If Red was more like Rallos Zek was in '99 to '04, with top raiding guilds using PvP as politics instead of just rampant PvP, p99 Red would be far more successful, imo. TL;DR, EQ PvP is too unforgiving and frustrating for people who don't consider PvP their primary reason for playing.
