I think modern MMO"RPGs" have clouded people expectations of a good MMORPG. It's not about loot guys. Yeah it's cool to get pixels, but that's not what amazed me about EQ.
Modern MMOs are more like "Solo your way to end-game single player then line up for the carrot-on-a-stick loot whoring game!" EQ is about community, teamwork, friendships, and I know this is hard to believe, ROLEPLAYING. You don't have to get all crazy about it, but a little roleplaying is fun as fuck. and you know it. Fuck defiant gear and I'm glad the devs are so adamant on classic issues.

Ive never met a single serious roleplayer on the entire server. The RnF forum alone is proof positive that endgame is 95% composed of rabid lootwhores. Modern MMOs are also about community and friendships. The devs aren't adamant about classic issues - they're adamant about a classic EXPERIENCE (a subtle difference that allows for slight custom rulesets to better enforce a classic "flavor" over true classic play).
All your arguments are silly except one: Defiant gear is a retarded idea on a server that has a thriving population of mixed-level characters.
