I love "ladder" style game play in things like PoE or Diablo 2 but they translate horribly to games like EverQuest. It feels so... hollow? like the fun isn't in the journey but the destination. Taking the Ever out of Everquest and turning it into a speed run. Like, it's not even classic so rogues are going to get shit on class balance and everything is predictable. At least PoE had leagues with actual game changing rule sets and MTC rewards that you could take to the next one.
tl;dr
Will I be able to at least get groups on my Wizard or will I be sitting there LFG while people play the same few power gaming min/max classes?

One of the first things I learned about gaming forums is their loaded with BS that gets passed on like the God's honest truth. It was just the God's honest truth that Warriors were the best tanks, and SKs and Paladins would struggle to find groups. It was the God's honest truth for most of live as I remember it according to forums.
Then the retarded forum crew finally figured out the nuance between group tanking and raid tanking. Now its true that Warriors aren't good at anything but raiding and you can't find groups with them. And they will go on believing that shit for awhile. Meanwhile, you can /w around a server and find out pretty quickly a whole host of warriors are doing just fine.
A lot of people don't even write that much except on game forums. So they think their exaggerations and stupid memes makes them "good at arguing" (or worse, the guys that think their cool and edgy). Even when someone knows a lot about EQ -- they are often terrible at constructing arguments or even paragraphs about it. The vast majority of the time, they are just parrots anyway. They don't try to confirm the information for themselves. Pay attention when someone tells you something like "x is the best" but can't articulate the logic behind "x is the best."
I guess what I'm trying to say is. Just play the game and you will find the forums aren't all that representative of the reality. Most people won't be playing with some perfect premade static group and never talk to anyone else. Those are small minority that are a hell of a lot easier to ignore on TLP than p99.
