There are a few “sort of” difficult mobs sprinkled in. Vishimtar comes to mind as the first mob that requires you to turn your brain on. In DoDH Hatchet and Mayong can wipe a raid. In TSS Lethar 2 usually hurts some guilds.
Later on the big thing is that glyphs and vet AAs trivialize everything. There’s nothing you can’t dominate with some tank glyphs and an intensity burn for a long long long time on TLP.
Solteris Event 1 has a dps race mechanic built in and if you’re racing for server first you need to do it with the lowest number possible which can be pretty wild. If you go too early and blow your six hour cool downs but still fail you are totally fucked.

Know what mobs those drop from? Thanks for proving the point
I saw ri raiders without boots and crowns at the end of kunark too. So its not like everyone had all those hot ticket items anywhere. Also, unlike kunark where only a few items were top quality, velious has a few odd top items from lower tiers which may end up as bottlenecked as most t1, eg a few doze ones. Also, since kt and yeli can be done very very small numbers, being able to split efficiently is going to yield more t1 loot than the few ows per week. On other servers Id maybe agree, but with random loot and wimpy t1s, I just dont think ow loot is even close to as meaningful in velious as it was in kunark.
Which means ow killing is therefore more about bragging rights and dick waving. In that regard, qyc got a big ol win.

Most of them drop from T2. KT and Yeli are super easy and painless to split and they make up 1/3 of T1 mobs. T2 has like 20 mobs and most of them require large trash clears and aren't something people wanna deep split.
There are about 10 Vulak items + AoW Ring that have real value. Tower gear really lowered the value of a lot of Vulak items. Example Valtron's going for half as much as Beldron's arms in my guild.
There are a few dozen T2 drops that have real value.

This is my opinion for the most part. There was a week in kunark where a lot of RI ate a ban(shocker, warps, bots, training do that), so they did no OW. That week of all OW kills barely added loot to compared to the overall weekly count. ANd Kunark had a lot more t1 targets(Sure more crappy loot, but I am talking just loot count overall).
Velious has just 6. 4 of which can be split hard. OW is fun on occasion if you are available, racing is fun(outside idiots who train you cause they dont want to lose), but mainly a bragging right thing.

Pillars of Alra? It's pretty tough yeah. I think Underfoot has some tough fights too though. And Vyskudra in SoF, some parts of Solteris.

So the criteria for success now is "everyone has a mana robe and grey suede boots" eh?
Unfortunately I think Pixel Pirates probably has both of us beat, again.

IIRC the week RI was suspended FF got something like 135 raid boss kills between OW and our normal raids, since OW was entirely uncontested that week and we kept finding mobs up just roaming around.
The week after that we didn't do too much OW and mostly just did our normal raids and we got like... 120 raid boss kills.
So ah...yeah, OW is small potatoes compared to what we pull in with our normal raids every week with 3 hours of actual work, which is why most of the time we don't bother with it that much. If we were actually hurting for loot on any level, like if our alt's alt wasn't geared, we'd probably need to chase OW mobs more.
There is only one guild everyone keeps talking about here, and its not Faceless or QYC or Rampage.

Pixel Pirates?
Good news, it's much easier to go on dates when you only have to raid 3 hours a week.
If you have to spend a ton of time and effort making posts, making propaganda podcasts, and desperately trying to convince people that its checkmate then its probably not checkmate.
You can try and setup this dichotomy between the two mutually exclusive ideas that you are achieving more success than everyone else around you, but you are just putting yourself in a position to have to convince someone that your side of the dichotomy is correct.
This is EQ. Checkmate does not exist unless you own 100% of what you AND everyone else wants.
This is why everyone who tries to say they are right will always be wrong.

It was good, T2 loot overall is pretty strong. It does continue to drop just like Mischief. Velious is one of the few expansions where multiple tiers retain value. T3 has Dain Heads and ST keys, T2 has Shroud of Longevity, Lungi, SoD, Primals, Gnome and Dwarf Masks, a bunch of great visibles from ToV, Nev belt, Koi spear, all the Dozekar loot etc.
T1 loot has Vulak so that’s of course dope.
