The OP assumes that EQ is all about gathering pixels and "winning". If this is the case, I 100% agree with you. Modern MMOs have much more depth to their combat systems, raiding targets, etc.
But I don't agree with the premise. EQ isn't about those things. What makes EQ great is that the system lends itself to socialization.
I make more "friends" and have more interaction in one night of EQ grouping then I do in a year of most new MMOs. I mean that literally.
