Defiant armor, shitty itemization, and the way in which lots of content was made useless too quickly were far more contributory to me coming here.
Boxing - Fantastic. Less fantastic with free accounts. But playing a single character in this era is soooo boring. Being a CH cleric in a chain for 10minures isn't the most thrilling thing ever.
Now instead imagine you can play a Rogue, Ranger and Cleric. You are CHing every so often on the cleric, backstabbing on the Rogue and casting spells / kicking / shooting arrows on your ranger. You interact way more with the game and that activity makes playing more fun.
Mercs - Really just a product of low population and too linear of quest-play. This is one of the greatest downfalls of modern EQ. Too often people want to complete a series of quests in a zone. The problem is if you don't start/finish with the same people you end up having to repeat steps you've done or only have half-finished series which yield minimal reward. It's very difficult to find someone needing the same quests/steps as you unless you plan to play with that person.
Instances - Again, fantastic. See any camp dispute or raid environment here as to why. You should have to stare at a wall for 16 hours or sit on a camp for 7 hours to experience certain content. That's dumb. Instances allowed all types of raiders to experience content and it started to become those who are skilled succeed rather than those who are unemployed. Which is a good thing IMO.
Player interaction, blah blah blah. No one wants to interact with me when they request a port. They just don't want to travel 30 minutes across the world.
