Any change made always pisses someone off. Personally I hate the EC fat cats and the MQ profiteering, but people want to blow big money on having their epics early, for convenience etc.
Why play a classic EQ emulator and then shortcut the big things like epic quests? Each to their own I guess, some people like EconomyQuest more than leveling characters.

I mostly agree. The deal is though, when you make your first character on P99 and bring him to level 5 and step into EC you realize this is a whole different game than what you had in your head when you made your character. No one but a handful of very slimy sickos were like "yeeheehee I can't wait to play a version of EQ where the ultimate goal isn't just to get more loot than the other guy, but to totally cockblock him from getting that loot after I've gotten it by continuing to get it and just selling it to someone else or giving it to alts I don't actually play or just straight up deleting it, yeeeheeeeheeee."
And epics? Come on. "Camp this mob for 12 hours. Great, you got that piece. Now you can save up 100k to get the next part MQd because the hell if you're ever going to see VS go down lol"
There's something entirely malicious- not just selfish, not just inconsiderate, straight-up
malicious- about spending three weeks with my necro parked on the AC island in OOT waiting for whichever one of the fantastic MQ merchant squad had the camp at that point to finish their 12 hour shift of corpsing rings- spamming their jboot buff all the while.
