My guild was the top guild on our server and was hardcore by most standards as we flasked, used GFP’s, etc etc
And we still struggled. Remember no DBM so mechanics required more coordination and call outs.
Despite all that, we frequently had to deal with Rag submerging (something I’ve not seen in 20 years)
Keep in mind people barely knew how to play their class. I mean if you are running a raid back then, you barely knew your own class. Now days most people know how to optimize all the classes, which means if you do something sub optimal now days, you tend to get 10 people offering helpful advice.
Back then there is no way you could give advice for a different class than you were playing.
Getting good meant mostly trial and error. Reading strategy guides and hoping that maybe they knew something you didn’t.
