A very good reason players left during GoD was Sony / Verant started really getting greedy for expansion sales and split that expansion in half. The raider crowd could not complete the expansion initially until they obtained items from the second half. And along the way towards the end, many of the encounters were not completed and had stock monsters with simple drops - oversized human male dropping cloth caps anyone?
Didn't Underfoot bring in the Dragonkin player race which basically made every other race possibility under powered (and pointless) due to their innate breath weapon attack or something? Players had no true weakness and rolled through stuff until reaching the higher ends again. Older players were not amused.
