There are tons of eq players who really don't care about server firsts and racing and drama. They raid mostly only in dzs now, they chase their goals which are often stuff like hunters or max tradeskills rather than race targets if they're super high playtime, and they don't really whine about any of the top guilds. Those folks tend to be awesome to bump into.
Then there's the people who do care about racing and drama. And in this group, there are people who seem to consisently be 2nd- place tlp after tlp. They DO butt into conversations and make sure everyone knows how little they care... which means they care. These folks are typically the worst.
Then there's people who care but typically win. From what I hear from friends, this server is mostly the first group (casuals and just non competitors both), a handful of the second, and basically none of the third - they skipped or went vaniki this tlp set. Sound right? Or is there a good AND competitive bunch?
