^. This kind of shit made EQ raiding later on glorious. It took some figuring out. Far more thought than "what's the pause and magic number of clerics, and which corner is the mob dying in?"

I agree about post-PoP raiding. When I left during OoW, I think I was just tired of the gameworld and burnt out on hardcore raiding. 90% of the criticisms I have are on hindsight, and the rest (like ae group buff AA and KEI) most players wish existed here. But at the time, I cannot remember thinking "oh, this game sucks now."
The only truly lame thing that I never ever liked was LDoN. But that mini-expansion was not meant for my kind of playstyle.
A lot of our complaints, just like a lot of our fond memories, are partially products of the passage of time.
But by 2004, I was just plain old tired of running around Norrath, even if my guild was owning stuff. Maybe for a lot of us, it was just that simple a matter. Five years is a long time to live and compete aggressively in a virtual world.
