Just think of it as a marathon, not a sprint.

Here's the issue for a lot of frustration on the server I think. EQ is the definition of a slow-paced MMO. It is not the place to come play and grind out xp to max level in a couple weeks and then get yourself decked out in uber gear in another few weeks after that. But a lot of people seem to forget that.
I've had the most fun on p99 (and experienced the least "burn out" playing it) with my enchanter, where I set long-term goals for him (do the solo artist challenge, get my epic, get rich) but kept them WAY in the back of my mind and just plugged away at the game in the meantime.
Everyone knows hell levels go by less painfully when you aren't watching your xp bar for every kill. Everyone knows leveling is more fun if you don't spend all your time beating yourself up over how far you still have until 60. But people treat gear/wealth on p99 differently it seems. We never have threads where people are demanding xp bonuses scaling inversely with level to help them catch up with all the 60s, but we CONSTANTLY have people making threads lamenting the high cost of uber gear and how difficult it is for new players to get that stuff.
