Still strikes me as bizarre the Luclin/PoP hatred. The game reached its subscriber peak in PoP, tons of content for guilds to do, tons of meaningful group content via Ornate molds, meaningful tradeskills that didn't suck, AA's that provided incentive to continue playing, abilities that finally started to balance classes out and carve a niche for everyone, focus effects that brought casters back into line with melees, boss fights that felt epic with amazing [at the time] graphics and very cool music.

Contrast that with Velious which feels small as fuck, can easily be held down by one top guild, has very little to do for non raiders other than farm HoT armor [which sucks for most slots], really no meaningful tradeskills to speak of. To each their own.
