I liked coordinating a raid to take on Rathe council.
You know the raid where you have to offtank 6 mobs that quad for 2k when tanks barely can reach 10k HP buffed. Also you had to mez 6 mobs at 5%, and keep them Mezzed for several hours. Then when all were ready you had to kill them within a 7 minute window. Keeping enchantees coordinated to lock down mobs and groups of Offtanks alive to deal with unmezables was a feat in an era when there wasn't much voice chat prevalent, and your raid was 60 people with about 10-15 boxes.
Suggesting PoP was an era when things were handed to you is laughable, especially at the raid level. PoP was far more challenging than any Content in Velious. Velious is all corner tank 1-2 AEs and maybe rampage and flurry, but that's it. It's extremely bland when you compare it to PoP.
PoP simply had better groupable content, better raid content, better tradeskills, some solid quests, awesome lord, and about the closest they ever got to balancing the PvE game at the group and raid levels.
A man can dream one day a server locked in PoP will exist with the attention to detail that P99 pays. Or SOE sells the EQMac client and code to someone who then hosts an Authentic PoP server with Classic UI restrictions, AC, Combat tables, everything. Mmm soo tasty
