People have been playing for so long and the game is so old, most of the challenge is lost.

A large part of the challenge of EQ was the environment.

With invis pulling, necrovacing Sky, full resist gear+potions, camping out multiple toons at multiple spawns... All of the challenge is lost with any real sized raid force.

Do Sky with the 24 allowed with no necrovacing and no pulling between islands, as it is intended to be done. Do VP without any invis, clearing everything. Do Trakanon with clearing his lair not skipping half of it. Do CT without kiting 90% of the zone trash. Try tanking without mallet/puppet string aggro. Hell.. Use a knight tank or ranger tank.

You can make the stuff hard without limiting to 15 characters. But you do have to limit yourself to certain strategies and whatnot. You just choose not to because it's easier and you have the knowledge to do it better/faster through other loopholes/exploits/tactics.
