and anyone who is coming back here is probably coming back for nostalgia when min-max gameplay was not even heard of and not due to a min-max idea. Playing an 11 year old game is the opposite of the min-maxer mentality, especially given the culture that once surrounded EQ so many years ago.

Pretty much everything in this paragraph is wrong
Min-maxers existed on EQ from as far back as anyone can remember. Seriously dude, people parsing text logs and calculating exactly which stats stop being useful after which soft/hard cap is as min-maxy as it gets, and they were doing it in UO/muds/etc before EQ even hit the scene. I think you have rose-colored glasses on if you don't think most everquest players were as bad as their wow counterparts. As soon as kunark opened, the LOIO highway became the norm and was populted 24/7, not the exception. Getting anyone outside of guild/friends to go do something fun/challenging like dalnir, nurga, and other dungeons was an exercise in frustration. "LEAVE MY DREADLANDS? I DONT THINK SO BUDDY"
Also we have a shaman thread basically every week thats like, "hey how do I exactly allocate my statistics perfectly so I will be the best at everything I ever do". Nostalgia's there for sure, but people play for a lot of other reasons.

I've never really had any downtime soloing as a bard here, or as a necromancer on live. Maybe you're doing it wrong (right?). :P

I played a bard/necro on live, not here. I specifically avoided bard because after twisting for 5 years I really don't want to do so any more
