Bullshit.
Raid guilds are better at raiding than casual guilds because the members are more skilled at doing what they do. And that's because they are goal oriented, good with time management, are motivated, are able to work together toward common goals, and are willing to put forth the effort needed to succeed, period.
I'm pretty sure Kruhl spends more time in EQ2 than any other two members of my guild combined. Does that mean he can solo Trakanon? No, because time spent is only one part of the success equation.

Actually, that's not what I was saying. I even posted earlier in this thread that if Kraken or Onyx came to a faction, they'd still be the top raiding guilds. The point of what I was saying was that the people who join Onyx and Kraken are people who have time,
and enjoy the PvE aspects of the game -- people who are motivated to PvE are obviously the ones who purposefully apply for a raiding guild that raids every night of the week. Those who care more about the PvP aspects of the game operate differently, and are more likely to get burnt out and quit since the amount of PvP on this server is dropping compared to the indefinite amount of PvE available to those who are content raiding instances all day.
Edit: Shit talk on a PvE server is much different than on a PvP server. There are a lot of people who play this game only because there is a PvP server. If this game didn't come out with PvP, a lot of people I know wouldn't have even touched this game, including myself. There
are people who play primarily for the PvP aspects, and get burnt out with PvE much quicker than those who transfered over from a blue server. I know joining Onyx or Kraken and raiding 7 nights a week successfully wouldn't rejuvinate my interest in the game -- it would just crush my interest even further. Not everyone operates in the same way.
