I'm sorry but Karnor's isn't that demanding. Wait until you level up more and get into the hard zones. The content becomes so difficult that you MUST have a Cleric and you MUST have a buffed up melee (and only a Warrior or Monk suffices because, if "the timeline" is being followed, then Paladin's/SK's can't tank at that level and won't be able to until well into Velious). Often you MUST have a crowd controller as well.
After you've gotten up there with the Kunark content and are getting discouraged about just how little you're able to do, it only gets worse with Velious. The Holy Trinity of Warrior-Cleric-Enchanter becomes even MORE of a requirement there, as the monsters' resist rates and stats reach even higher heights of ridiculousness.

On Live, I main healed as a shaman in Sebilis or Chardok (during Kunark era) or places like Kael during Velious and that was with no outside healing help and no one else but me to slow our targets. Some friends have done it with a druid or even with a paladin (yes my good lad, a paladin, now how's that for a roxorz pally?). This doesn't mean you don't have to tweak your group composition or strategy but it is most definitely doable. Note that I speak of tweak, as in small adjustments, not having to stick to a rigid group composition without which it would be impossible. EQ has been build around the concept of group and around the concept of having a lot of possibilities to make an efficient group.
I already highlighted that in another post of yours but you chose to ignore it. Learn to play before QQing.
At some point, the holy trinity became prevalent as it was the most effective way of doing things (group wise) but it was in no way mandatory, nor was it the only workable group backbone. I never had a problem finding a group, nor did any of my friends and none of us was a "server superstar" whose renown alone would have granted them a slot in a group. So yes, you will find some morons who think that nothing can be done without the holy trinity but you have the choice to ignore these dickheads and to give your attention to the rest of the population of the server. If it goes the way it was on Live at the time, the non-stupid population will more than outweight (in numbers) the others. It is a matter of choice, YOUR choice.
And if you want something so different, as I also highlighted in your other post, you have plenty of options as it is blatant that this server is not what you are after:
- go on another server
- make another server (you might be very successful and have a lot of people coming on it, who knows
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])
- go to Live (when they re-open huhu) and play with no maps or any outside help
As already been very rightfully said by someone else, I will not bother quoting all your other points and refute them as it is obvious that you haven't made any research prior to posting. That would be easy but way too time consumming seeing how you can write two or three incoherent posts in the time I type one answer.
