Good point! I read the entire post, but hadn't really considered this specific advantage. Keep in mind Im secretly a casual - (most of us) don't have the time we used to prior to Luclin on Live, and anything that reduces "housekeeping" is a +1 IMO. In this case, housekeeping is selling off low value loot en masse and AFK rather than banking it for a year before giving it to the nearest noobie to make room for other stuff.
As I stated before, I personally am not opposed to Luclin (or even PoP up to, but not including Time). I just think both sides will have to give a little to strike a deal that is very close to classic with a few concessions made to the anti-cat crowd. I enjoyed the triggered events and relatively low light settings of Luclin. The aliens were a little hard to embrace, but overall there were some cool concepts introduced.
Not to hijack the thread, but how many expansions-worth of content do you think the P99 player base can populate before getting too spread out? There will likely always be "hot zones" where people like to group, but we all know the feeling of running through a zone and seeing your the only one there... some like it, but most of us enjoy running into and working with other players.

Yeah, any aspects post-velious would have to be negotiated which is a grab bag. Honestly I wish they'd just implement it wholesale. I never got to experience much of the authentic Luclin experience.
Maybe we need an official discussion that addresses where EQ got silly and start putting together proposals on how to customize it to mitigate those downsides. I'm thinking more of a talent tree system for AA's, etc.
