EQ mechanics are mostly boring AF by current standards, but insofar as EQ goes, if you don't want to group and have an ench then the only other solo classes you could objectively define as fun is necro/bard/druid, but gear isn't massively helpful for any of them for solo leveling. I guess I'd give it to necro. You can have fun soloing pretty much the entire way and get to 60, with low levels being boring for all classes and without suffering too much for finding mobs in the higher end.
For me twinking has always been something I've tried to do to convince myself that I still enjoyed the game but was bored of my character. I've made at least 100 alts across many games and I don't know that it's ever made the game fun again. It's just something to occupy yourself with. Eventually I realized the twinking itself was more fun than playing the alt, and that's when I gave up on it. If I'm bored of the game there's thousands of others to play, and if I eventually feel like going back to it then it will be more enjoyable than forcing myself to keep playing an alt.
A question to all the people saying pure melee is the most fun. Why? You legit do nothing but occasionally click one button. I'd say it's in the running for one of the poorest and laziest designed things in video games. Ever. It takes more effort to play Pong. Which is also more entertaining. Doing nothing is categorically boring, so what do you consider fun about it? Likewise I'm also discounting dotrotting and quadding as 'fun'. It may have been fun when the game came out, but it's old now. The concept of fun in games has changed. Walking forward 20 feet and clicking one button or sitting still and rerooting/dotting doesn't stand up anymore.
I get the feeling you guys might be calling it fun for some other reason. Like you're watching twitch/pr0nhub in the background or something? Or perhaps you became so bored of the game that the act of twinking a character ended up being more fun than playing the character like I mentioned previously? Melee can be twinked much more than casters, so I can see how that might be confused as being more fun.
