the people who keep pushing for "its a social game" aspect somehow forgetting that all the inconvenient things somehow only affect HALF of the classes.
-its the melees that have to walk THERE AND BACK, while casters only need to walk there, and can get back instantly
-its the melees who need to get "social" and get some caster friends to get a bind, and not wait for 45 min to get one
-its the melees who have to fight their way out of the dungeon, rather than just gate out
-its the melees who have to run across 3 zones from a nearest possible bind point, to join their group, while casters can bind just outside the zone in
somehow, all the PUNISHMENT and "hard game" experience only falls on melees, while casters are never bothered with this concept.
And then you start screaming how WoW made it easier for everyone - no, not for everyone, only for the OTHER half of the players who didn't had this luxury for the first 5 years - the other half ALWAYS had it easy.

In all my years in EQ, I never played a binding class above L20. I still managed to raid and experience tons of content.
But, I'll indulge your "the haves vs. the have nots".
- Its casters that always have to sit and med while melees get to fight a mob from 100% -- 0%.
- Its casters that always have to scavange for armor while the melees get awesome armor sets.
- Its melees that get game-changing clickies like warriors getting shrink, invis, and a healing clicky or rangers with free summoned arrows.
- Its casters that, for the entire life of classic, have inferior DPS to melees.
- Its casters that have to wait for the melees to arrive before they can start doing anything, so they aren't gaining anything by being an ass to the warrior thats running those 3 zones you mention.
This game is NOT balanced in the way WoW is balanced. STOP trying to shoehorn YOUR ideas of balance on this game. If you want the type of balance you are discussing, go back to your newer MMOs. I want this kind of balance, so I'm here. If you want some other kind of balance, look somewhere else.
