you mean...EQ classes aren't balanced equally? omg, sound the alarm...
the only thing worth mentioning is that a good wizard who logs in wanting to help out and is a cool guy is better than a shitty chanter/bard/rogue/monk/etc who doesn't log in to help others out and is a jerk.
so, as it should in a role-playing game, it really depends on the person behind the toon.

That's the best post in this thread.
Real power in EQ isn't your gear or your money or even your class. It's your social circle. It's who you know and who knows you.
If you're a nice, helpful and fun to be around with kind of person, people are going to remember you, you're going to get added on friend lists, you're going to get invites.
If you get in a group and don't even say "thanks for the invite" and stay silent the whole time you're there, then you become another_dude00 to them. This is not a game with 8 minutes instances with people you're never going to see again. You're probably going to kill orcs with them for a few hours, get to know them. Start conversations. Have a genuine interest in what they're saying. If you make the social effort, it will pay off tremendously later. Then they see your name in ooc stating you're LFG, they're not going to calculate your DPM compared to the sustained monk DPS with Celestial Fists active or whatever, they're going to remember you're a cool, funny and interesting guy to group with and if they know they will have a good time being with you for the next few hours, you get in front of the list, guaranteed.
Of course you're going to be rejected by the min/maxing elitists because your gear isn't BiS, but they're a very small minority, so they don't really count.
