AA's were good as they gave you a reason to keep playing the game. Means more people EXPing, more groups, more immersion.

Bazaar drove prices down, created a market for more items [people don't waste time auctioning 10pp items but with Bazaar people will sell them], people still auctioned off rare items, etc.

Focus items brought casters more in line with melee and made itemization more diverse and exciting.

The actual content of the expansion sucked though for the most part. I believe had Luclin's actual content been more like a Kunark or a Velious people here would be singing the praises of how amazing it was. Unfortunately it was bland and boring with a horrible end raid zone and shitty itemization for the most part with pretty awful lore.
