A lot of people didn't experience the original version. Velks was near-deserted by all but raid groups for a while because the zone was strait rape. After the revamp you could do fine with a rag tag group of whatever, but before it, soloing spiders was out of the question (due to a really nasty dot proc, hitting too hard and lots of MR and hp on spiders).
It took a very well tuned group to go anywhere, and even then there were no guarantees because CCing was kind of a nightmare.
