Lots of EQ fanboys should face facts - The bazaar, the Nexus, PoK books, the other massive changes to the game through PoP and beyond - these weren't bad decisions motivated by some scrooge bathing in his gold coins.
Yes they were, for the most part. That's exactly what they were. The devs implemented lazy "fixes" in order to satiate the masses and make quick money, instead of understanding what made Everquest special in the first place and working to continually make it a more enriching game.

WoW actually made far more money than EQ ever made doubling down on the easymode
That's because there's been no better option. EQ failed itself. It was "Jurassic Park" and continually kept coming up with worse versions of itself, in order to chase more $$. Eventually people stop buying from your product line and move onto any better option.

I think being ''forced'' to level in Kunark 50 to 60 is way worse than being forced to do 60 to 65 and AAs in PoP, personally
You can get to level 60 without going to Kunark. The Hole, Permafrost, Sol B, Kedge Keep, and City Guards/NPCs.
