Except no.
PoP was the greatest expansion. Subscriptions proved it. Reviews proved it. Lore proved it. Content proved it.
Best quests, raids and group content were available in PoP. It was also a culmination where you had conquered dragons and aliens, time to face the gods themselves. The expansion had something like 110~ Separate raid/multi-group events. Nothing else really comes close to that level of depth.
It is when tradeskills really took off in viability and worth. Probably also the point when balance was pretty damn near perfect. Wizards were excellent in groups and raids. Druids could now effectively heal most anywhere. Rangers were totally boss with bow damage and pretty formidable with melee. It took the weakest classes in groups and made everything more balanced between new spells and AAs.
People bitch and moan about PoK books. But those same people refuse to run from EC to Ro and require a Druid port. Bunch of hypocrits. And don't try to pull the interacting with players card, PoP required it just as much as classic. You needed help to get your keys and flags. Needed help to finish quests, get rezzes, do tradeskills, etc.
PoP confirmed best expansion.

Man this Daldaen guy is like my long lost EverQuest twin. PoP was the greatest MMO expansion of all time. It was the first expansion that actually made tradeskills worth something. It finally realized a clear progression path for casual players and raiders via elemental armor and ornate armor. It had the elite feeling of locked zones via difficult content both raid and group. Amazing music, graphics, and you felt the true lore of Everquest in every zone you went into, culminating in the amazing plane of time. Anyone who hates PoP hates EverQuest IMO.
