I don't know exactly how to put my finger on it. When I was younger I loved EQ PvP. Those feelings evaporated sometime after I played Vanilla WoW. One of the things I loved about WoW when it came out -- what that people actually would fight you! Skill was more important than gear. There wasn't so much BS insta-gating, plug-pulling, warping (it was really bad on SZ with the warps).
It just was never that good of a PvP game. I am also vaguely suspicious one of the reasons some people never quit EQ PvP -- is because that is the game they know how to hack on. EQ always had a huge problem with hacks that is completely absent in modern MMO PvP.
