The problem: "being a good melee" isn't particularly fun in Everquest. Nor does it require that much skill. As you just said, it's not that hard. It's simply a contest of who can constantly bring themselves to perform the tedious routine.

There's a reason why people don't have contests or games of who can floss their teeth the best while standing on one leg and while holding one arm behind their back - because it's not something anybody actually wants to do and it's not a skill worth measuring in the world. The same goes for a lot of the mechanics that Everquest forces upon the players.

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.
