Luclin had fantastic raid events. People like to just point out Vex Thal. While it is a raid zone, it was hardly the only raid in the expansion.
Shei in AR is probably the best event from Luclin. Had death adds to punish zerging, had timed spawns to encourage CC, had mix of unmezzable and unslowable mobs so you had to off tank with knights some types and mez other types, had a mana drain to encourage correct positioning, had a death touch to put a timer on the event and encourage tank swaps.
Emperor, High Priest, Creator, Cursed and Arch Lich in Ssra all were fantastic as well.
LIS was neat because of banes.
The Deep's Thought Horror Overfiend event was sweet too. As were the Acrylia Cavern Ring events.
Umbrella Planes offered a nice selection of casual raid targets.
Vex Thal's events were largely boring but pulling was fun in there.
Luclin also added the ability to have multiple chat boxes and item linking (some of you would quit if we went back to a single box and no item linking like Velious had...). This is probably my favorite thing about the Luclin hate. People will cry all day at you over how horrible the expansion was. But the second you most a bug post to remove a Luclin addition they cry even harder because that addition is really nice.
Yes, EC Died. But that's for the best. NO one likes dealing with resellers, used car salesmen or bro-dudes who tell you the item you're selling isn't worth close to what you're asking. People are greedy and not having to deal with them directly when it comes to money in game was a fantastic change. Never did I make a trade deal where I was extremely pleased with the interaction... Only pleased with the item I ended up with. Buying from someone at T1 or in Bazaar was irrelevant.
