This thread roxxors, even if the poll doesn't even scratch the surface of what went wrong with eq -- as most of the comments here seem to agree on.
no bazaar.
no nexus
no PoK
no PoT (PLEASE NOTE I DID NOT TYPE NO POT)
I love the idea of a PoP re-vision where the zone entrances are placed throughout the old world, like the entrance to Bertox's being in Qeynos sewers.
My god. Can we de-nerf post-Velious eq?
But getting rid of Luclin? I never understood the Luclin hate. I thought that expansion worked pretty decently as far as content progression went. I thought shards were perfectly legitimate game design decision to slow down content consumption.
If anyone can explain why Luclin is so hated concisely, I'm all ears.
edit: is it about aa's? I thought they were a cheap trick myself. If we ever did see Luclin, I would vote no aa's. The gear from Luclin and PoP is already powerful shit. AA's made it pretty easy to basically recreate your class limits.

I think people hated Luclin because it was a massive timesink. Shards, shissarbane weapons. On top of that, Luclin mobs had massive hitpoints. Sure, everyone's damage was increased with AAs and new gear but mob's hps was too damn high. That made trash clears super boring in raids.
I think AAs were a great addition. It made classes that were considered useless, up to par with the rest. Druids, wizards, paladins, rangers come to mind here. The only problem with AAs is that the content was tuned for them, so they became necessary.
